WordPress 2.5 Released

No response, Apr 01, 2008

Well WordPress 2.5 has been released so I spent some time over the weekend updating 21 WordPress sites (and at the same time I updated another 6 Gallery installations).

WordPress 2.5 is very nice with a much better interface. Its built-in gallery/multiple file uploader is great - providing you use the latest versions of Firefox/Flash, it seems, as this doesn’t seem to work on some of my browser/platform configurations here).

Automatic plug-in updating is a nice touch too.

It’s also much, much better to be able to ‘upload’ images from a URL rather than coding by hand for this. All it needs now is built-in support for embedding YouTube videos and they’ll be there.

The IE7/PC issue is fixed with the very latest Flash version and some patching from the WordPress Trac
