I have upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.5. It is a very nice piece of software that the WordPress development team has done a great job on. Some of the new features include:
- Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard
- Dashboard Widgets
- Multi-file upload with progress bar
- Bonus: EXIF extraction
- Search posts and pages
- Tag management
- Password strength meter
- Concurrent editing protection
- Few-click plugin upgrades
- Friendlier visual post editor
- Built-in galleries
The upgrade this weekend turned up a Cookie bug in my URL Rewriter and Reverse Proxy software, that I use to host WordPress on my Windows 2003 server. There will be an updating to the URL Rewriter coming soon to MSDN Code and Codeplex as well as a release on my companies website.
