WordPress 2.9 Is Here With Us Now!

by Abi on December 19, 2009

Yes WordPress 2.9 is here, and officially released and this one ain’t beta but final! In WordPress 2.9, many most-demanded features that previous versions should have added almost completely, such as:

WordPress 2.9 Here

  • Image editor to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images,
  • The awaited undo/trash which replacing annoying “are you sure” when deleting posts or pages
  • Plugin compatibility checking before upgrading, WordPress will tell whether your installed plugins are compatibility with the upgrade, this will avoid plugin incompatibility with WordPress new version
  • Easier video embeds, embedding video will never been easier than this, just copy the video url and paste it…done, magically the feature will turn it into the proper embed code, currently it supports: YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
    5. For SEO, WP 2.9 has canoncial url, thus no worry about duplicate content.

There is plenty more exciting features in this release to learn more you can visit the WP Development Blog

But actually one feature that I always wanted since the release of WP 2.7 but never been added yet, as you can see since the release of WP 2.7 we are able to add plugins or themes easily without needing to download them because we can directly install from WordPress repository.

But no functionality to install plugins or themes that are not in repository, thus it will be perfect if there is “add url” for installing plugins or themes that are not registered in WP repository thus I don’t need one-click plugin updater.

I have noticed that a lot of top bloggers are not updating to the newest wordpress, but some are still using older version of wordpress and also some are using the older all in one seo right before the new guy took over, is there a reason why? thanks Mars-Blue.com
