WordPress 2.7 is out!

December 10, 2008 — Leave a comment

They haven’t officially announced it in their blog, but WordPress 2.7 is finally here!  Their main download page is promoting it and you can get it here.

I’ve been running the beta versions on a few new blogs and I’ve been very pleased with it.  Now comes time to update my older blogs.  The update itself should be easy, but there will be some theme modification necessary to take advantage of some of the new features like threaded comments.

WordPress 2.7 RC1 now available

December 1, 2008 — Leave a comment

I’ve been running the last few beta versions of WP 2.7 on some of my blogs, and I’ve been quite pleased with it.  Now they’ve just posted Release Candidate 1 (download it), which is sure to be even more stable.  I’m assuming they’ll have the updated icons in it as well.

I won’t have a chance to play with it for a few hours, but I’m looking forward to it!

With all of the bug fixes in this update, it might be time for me to try it on a live site.  You can download WP2.7b2 here.

Have you tried either of the WP 2.7 betas?  If so, what did you think?

Demo of WordPress 2.7

WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg gave the keynote at NYC Wordcamp, and afterwards he gave a nice demo of WordPress 2.7, due out in November.

Here is the video:

It’s looking quite slick. I love how easy it will be to customize the admin area, as I have a number of clients for which it’d be very useful to simplify things quite a bit. :) I’m really looking forward to this release.

September 4, 2008 — 1 Comment

Weblog Tools Collection has a great write-up showing what we can expect when WordPress 2.7 is released (hopefully in November).

Some of the noteworthy features:

 

  • A rewritten back end interface
  • A redesigned “write” panel.
  • “Sticky” posts that will stay at the top of your blog until you un-stick them.
  • Browse and install plug-ins from the back end.
  • Many more settings for images (default alignment, default sizes, etc)
It’s shaping up to be a pretty nice release.  We’ll keep you posted on the expected release date.
