Hello Ella, WordPress 2.1!
As usual, I’ve upgraded as soon as I could to the latest version of WordPress. Now they have a code name for each release, this 2.1 release is “Ella”, named after jazz vocalist “Ella Fitzgerald”, not that I care though. There are 550 bugs fixed so far until this version, detailed listing can be found here.
There are tons of new features in this version. Following features grabbed my attention the most.
- Autosave makes sure you never lose a post again. (Awesome Ajax feature without loading the page again like you manually save and continue editing.)
- Our new tabbed editor allows you to switch between WYSIWYG and code editing instantly while writing a post.
- New search engine privacy option allows you take you to indicate your blog shouldn’t ping or be indexed by search engines like Google.
- You can set any “page” to be the front page of your site, and put the latest posts somewhere else, making it much easier to use WordPress as a content management system.
For other features, you can check the official release page here. I haven’t noticed any flaw in my blog, the refined database code indeed reduces the loading time, this release is highly recommended from me. If you do notice anything wrong with this blog, please feel free to leave a comment down there, or kindly contact me.
