Wordpress 2.8 released

Wordpress 2.8
As expected, the folks at Automattic unleashed Wordpress 2.8 on the public this week. If your blog his hosted on Wordpress.com, it should automatically be upgraded. If you have a self-hosted blog running Wordpress 2.7 or a more recent build, you should be able to upgrade from your blog administration pages. Or you can download Wordpress 2.8 if you want to upgrade manually or install the blogging platform from scratch.

There are a ton of changes, bug fixes, and new features, but here are a few of the highlights:

  • It’s much easier to customize widgets
  • The admin pages are significantly more responsive and faster to navigate
  • New syntax editor which adds color (literally) to plugin and theme editors
  • New theme browser that makes it easy to find and install themes from the admin pages
  • Added a Widget API

To see some more of the changes, check out the video embedded after the page break.
