WordPress 2.2 Is Now Available!
A new version of the great web-log platform was released early today. The new WP 2.2 or Getz has some new features, like Widgets integration, and over two hundred bug fixes.
New in this release:
- WordPress Widgets - allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity.
- Full Atom support.
- A new Blogger importer - After the update of Google`s free blog hosting software “Blogger”, some modification to the Import section was needed.
- Infinite comment stream - After the great import of the AJAX to WP 2.1 a small update at the Edit Comments page has been added.
- We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog. I think I read this in the Ideas Forum, and by the way…WOW
- Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
- We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.
In addition:
there were also dozens of UI and accessibility improvements, ranging from more concise wording around options and links to things like a view and preview link above the content box when you’re editing a post or page.
Also lots of improvements were done “under the hood” which will help WP developers more and more.
Funny thing that I was attending to write an article about why WP team didn’t release a new version yet. Anyway and as usual…a small “Thank You” for these guys is the least thing we can do/say!
