WordPress 2.3 Finally Released
It was quite a few hours after I posted yesterday that WordPress finally released version 2.3 of its wonderful blogging software that I believe EVERYONE should be using.
I wanted to mention a few things that I didn’t in the last post about this update.
- Canonical URLs - “which does things like enforce your no-www preference, redirect posts with changed slugs so a link never goes bad, redirect URLs that get cut off in emails on similar to the correct post, and much more.” (WordPress Blog) One of the more important features that I haven’t heard too much about, it seems that tagging has really dominated the conversations I’ve had with others about WordPress 2.3.
- Pending review - Allows writers on multi-author blogs to submit their post for review by an administrator or an editor.
- Advanced WYSIWYG - I may be the only one out there that isn’t using a desktop blog editor. I just feel that the WordPress admin panel is good enough for me, now WordPress is adding some enhancements to the editor which will make some things a lot easier to do while writing up posts.
There were 351 tickets in Trac closed with this release and over 100 people worked on the code. I think that WordPress is doing a wonderful job and continues to improve on an already amazing platform.
