Wordpress 2.5 – So exciting I can hardly contain myself…

Everyone is probably aware of the new Wordpress update coming soon.
I’m pretty excited, the feature that looks the most promising to me is the automatic plug-in upgrading. To be honest I am getting so tired of upgrading plugins. Of course the One Click Plugin Updater has been a great blessing to help in upgading, but the new autoupgrade feature will be pretty cool.
Technosailor wrote a nice overview of the new Wordpress. You really need to check it out, this isn’t a small overhaul, this is a huge change to what we’re used to.
Some other good features include:
- New dashboard focused on comments, posts, and incoming links.
- New beefed up Navigation Menu designed to make life easier, especially for beginners.
- Apparently there will be fewer options on Write page, and will use ‘extra options’ more extensively.
- Better management interface, for posts, comments, and pages.
- An updated time-stamping mechanism.
- Flash Video Uploader (Who needs Youtube now?)
- Improved Visual Editor.
- Also a change to the widget functions has been discussed.
Of course the best way to see the new software is check it out on your own. You can download it here: Wordpress 2.5
