It has only been a few weeks since I installed WordPress 2.5 on this blog, and Beta 1for the next release, WordPress 2.6, is already out!

The release is not as “big” as WordPress 2.5, but introduces a lot of small yet nice features, besides lots of bug fixes. I like the fact that the Admin Panel will have offline caching support using Gears. Read more about it here.

WordPress 2.5.1 was released recently. This version includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. It is recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly.

WordPress 2.5 has been released. Before writing about the release, I thought it would be apt to first upgrade this blog to the latest version.

The new Admin Dashboard is very impressive. The interface has been given a significant overhaul. The upgrade itself was done using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin, and it was a breeze. The Plugins page detected several plugins that needed upgrades, and all of them were upgraded using the new auto upgrade feature. Very impressive indeed!

If you haven’t yet had a look at WordPress 2.5, check out their screencast.

My first impression is a big THUMBS UP! for the release.

Matt Mullenweg has a post on the WordPress blog about the availability of a sneak peak into WordPress 2.5 which is due to be released in a few hours from now.

For the adventurous, a release candidate is already available. WordPress 2.5 introduces a completely revamped Administrator Dashboard, along with several changes to the “Manage” and “Write” sections.
