WordPress 2.8 coming soon, WordPress MU to be phased out

WP 2.8 theme installer
Popular blogging platform WordPress will get a minor update next week with the launch of version 2.8. The new version should be available to the public starting June 10th.

WordPress 2.8 will have an updated theme browser which makes it just as easy to install and update WordPress themes as it is to find and install plugins. Users will also have more options for customizing their Dashboard widgets and other admin pages. There have also been updates to the ways comments are handled, and WordPress 2.8 adds support for case-insensitive logins.

The other big news out of WordPress is that the developers are planning to merge WordPress MU (multi-user) with the main version of the blogging platform. Right now there are very few differences between WordPress and WordPress MU, and it looks like the MU code will simply be added to WordPress. But that won’t happen before WordPress 2.8 is released next week, so expect there to be two different versions for now.
