- Word count display below Save and Publish buttons
- Theme pagination and a hot live preview feature
- The number of plugin updates available is now shown in the Plugins tab
- Ability to change the location of the wp-config.php file
- Multiple plugin activate/deactivate; improved sorting
- Admin page caching for faster speeds
- Improved galleries
- “Press This” bookmarklet for quick posting from anywhere on the web via your toolbar
- Post revisioning
- Drag-and-drop gallery sorting
- Multiple checkbox selection (on Manage pages) using shift+click
I’m out of town right now, but I’ll update in a few days and let you know what I think. If you load it on your blog, leave a comment and let us know what you think.
