Wordpress 2.5

In case you somehow missed all the announcements posted all over the web not to mention all the different feeds listed in your admin panel, Wordpress has just announced the release of version 2.5.

In what is considered a major release, the folks over at Wordpress, among many feature additions/improvements, have done a lot to improve the backend including upgrading to TinyMCE 3.0 for better compatibility and HTML editing plus the admin area is now widget aware which will open up your blog’s backend to widget developers.

The upgrade doesn’t include any major database changes so in theory the upgrade should be somewhat painless and any plugins that rely on the database shouldn’t be affected but as always, back everything up and turn off all your plugins before starting the upgrade.

Download version 2.5 here and feel free to post you upgrade thoughts and or issues in the comments section when you are done.
