WordPress 2.8 “Baker”

For owners of blogs that use WordPress.org, would have found information that the latest WordPress WordPress 2.8 codenamed "Baker" has been available. This afternoon, when opening the WP-Admin page of this blog and found the message, I immediately upgrade to WordPress 2.8 by selecting the Upgrade option Automatically and so far no problems I encountered related to the themes and plugins that I use. In terms of appearance in WP-Admin page, it's like there is no significant perubahahan compared with WordPress 2.7, but was informed WordPress 2.8 brings speed in its use and this latest version to overcome the existing bug 790.


A few new things also brought Wordpress 2.8 is, among other themes updater to be made as to the plugin updater on the previous version, which you can see the themes directory directly and install a theme that you choose with one click.

CodePress editor that can be used to edit files directly plugins and themes are also introduced in this version. Press Code editor has syntax highlighting features that facilitate the writing of codes for the plugins and themes.

Overhaul of the interface widgets that are presented also in Wordpress 2.8 will allow editing widget "on the fly", has a copy of the same widget, drag and drop widgets between sidebars, and storage of the widget setting that is not active.

Changes in WordPress 2.8 is more than can be found on the WordPress Codex page for this release.
