Upgrade to Wordpress 2.8
Posted By admin on June 11th, 2009
Wordpress released it’s latest version, codenamed Baker, the 2.8. What do we expect from this release?
The major difference of this version from the precious releases is that 2.8 have the following features:
- Add CodePress syntax highlighting to Theme and Plugin editors
- Browse the theme directory and install themes from the admin
- Recognize Expression Web 2 as IIS
- Pass name to sidebar, footer, and header get actions
- Widget API
Features that didn’t make it into version 2.8
- Some default shortcodes, maybe the most popular 10 from WordPress.com
- oEmbed support, tied in with shortcodes
- Better UI for post revisions, maybe an optional field to say what changed in a version
- OAuth support
- GeoData for posts, comments, attachments, etc.
- Template tags to do everything the custom gallery on ma.tt does
- Menu editor
- Unbalanced tags across more and nextpage tags (Ticket 6297)
- Sitemaps by default
- Refresh of the importers (LiveJournal was refreshed)
- Gallery post_type
- Versioning of template edits
- Documentation links for functions used in currently edited template
- MPTT (Modified Preorder Tree Traversal) for hierarchies
