I consider you’ve noticed that I didn’t publish anything about WordPress 2.6 RC1, and I assume you pretty much know the reason why I didn’t do so. Without further rambling I announce (after Matt of course) the availability of WordPress 2.6 final release. Honestly, I am so excited to write about it.
Personally I had enough time to play with 2.6 beta releases, while ignoring the RC1 I’m jumping right upon the final and enjoying what it’s coming with. The new features have already been mentioned many times, here and in other blogs, so what really matters now is to encourage you download it here. However if you missed anything, a full list of in-the-package features can be found in the official announcement so enjoy of what you’ll face with.
Regardless of my criticism WordPress developers insisted on releasing a Release Candidate, but obviously they followed that no longer than in three days with the final hit, which I’m pretty happy about. I think Matt read and didn’t really like what I’ve said in my previous post about WordPress Betas and RCs. I assume he was on a WordCamp and rushed to get back as soon as possible saying to his guys “Hey, what are you waiting for, release the Final!” In worst case scenarios he would have said “… no matter how much we could improve, just do it.”, or maybe not, this only happened with the major 2.5 version I think. Anyway, this is my fantasy, the story I came up with.
Below you can watch a worth watching video which demonstrates new embedded features in WordPress 2.6.
Earlier I’ve stated that I want to upgrade my blogs before I turn one year older, but I’m not going to hurry though as for tomorrow I have a Web Applications & e-Technology exam, plus I’m waiting for a potential 2.6.1, who knows what may happen. Enjoy it.
