Upgrade to Wordpress 2.6

Again, Wordpress came up with a newer version, v 2.6

Straight to the point, as I’ve upgraded it for this blog, I don’t recognize any significant changes within the functionalities. Having a newer version would logically mean that it’s better, and by looking at the new features, it sure seems so.

Take a look at this video regarding Wordpress 2.6

New features:

  1. Post Revisions - Bloggers can now keep a track of all changes being made to their posts and page with the new post revisions feature just like the one found in Google Docs.
  2. Wordpress Turbo - Turbo mode makes use of Google Gears and allows a user to save admin files on local PC. This helps in lightening fast loading of admin menu in browser.
  3. Press This! - The bookmarklet is back. It enables for easy posting of content from other social networking sites like Digg, Delicious, YouTube etc.
  4. Theme Preview - Now blog admins can preview themes for their blog before making them live to their audience. This feature was previously provided by a plugin but has now been brought to the core.

There are also some specific features such as word count, image captioning, plugin management, but it’s not really a major necessesity.
