Long awaited WordPress 2.5 is here
It’s here. It’s here. Wordpress 2.5 is here. For those who haven’t been keeping up with the development, this newest version features a cleaner interface, widgets for the dashboard, tag management, search pages in addition to posts, easier plugin upgrades and tons more.
I upgraded my site tonight and so far nothing has broken. The development folks say there were very few changes to the database, so most plugins that were compatible with 2.3 should remain compatible with 2.5.
My first impressions are:
- I love the new, cleaner dashboard
- The one-click plugin upgrades ROCK
- Built-in galleries look like a great addition, but I haven’t played with it yet
I can’t see anything that jumps out and screams “woah - why did they do that?”. Everything I’ve poked at so far makes perfect sense and it’s obvious the amount of time and thought that went into this release.
Thanks to the WP team and everyone involved with contributing, testing documentation and development.
