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!
