Within the last few hours the much awaited Wordpress 2.9 has been released. It has over 500 new bug fixes and features.
Here is just a selection of changes:
- Trashbin: Posts that are deleted are now moved to the trash instead of being deleted irrecoverably. It is possible to recover posts from the trash at a later time.
- Image Editor: A basic image editor that can be used to edit, rotate, scale and crop images.
- Batch plugin support: Update up to ten plugins at once.
- Video Embeds: video embeds for popular sites have become just a tad easier as it is now possible to simply paste the url into the post which will be turned into an appropriate viewer by Wordpress automatically.
- Automatic database optimization which can be enabled by adding define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true); to the Wordpress config file.
- Post Thumbnails options which can be used to display thumbnails in every post if the theme supports it.
- Better SEO thanks to rel=canonical
- Custom galleries with the ability to add pictures from several posts.
The complete list of changes can be viewed at Wordpress Trac.
