WordPress 2.8 is out. Announcement and full feature list. There are more features and it’s supposed to be faster. I’ll probably wait a bit to let some of the inevitable new release bugs get worked out.
I just upgraded to 2.7.1 a few weeks ago when I moved to a new server. It turns out that wasn’t a wasted effort. Beginning with 2.7 you can upgrade to new versions automatically without re-installing.
Automatic updates over the Internet are one of the best changes in tech in the last 10 years for productivity and security. Good stuff.
P.S. Here’s a cool WordPress widgets/Google hack: Add Custom Search to any site in two minutes. I’ve added it to my sidebar to see if I like it (and it actually took less than two minutes). Looks like I need to play around with the formatting for long titles.
