Wordpress 2.9 Is Here
Wordpress has released the next version of their popular blogging and content management software. The 2.9 release, named “Carmen,” continues their series of releases named after jazz artists.
So, what’s new in 2.9?
The biggest feature improvement is the ability to edit images after they are uploaded – cropping, rotating and resizing are all available options. This is a huge feature for Wordpress users that may not have image editing software on their computers.
Another popular improvement is the ability to embed media into posts or pages by simply copying and pasting the link to the media (video, photo gallery, etc.) into the post or page, using the oEmbed standard.
Wordpress has also introduced a trash feature, enabling a second level of deletion of posts, pages and media. Now, in the event you accidentally get rid of a post, it goes to the trash, instead of being permanently deleted. Users can then empty their trash later, when they’re sure they want to delete its contents.
These three features are on top of many other improvements and bug fixes. To read more about the 2.9 release, please read this post on the Wordpress blog.
