WordPress version 2.6 is now available! This version has been named “Tyner” and it has been released almost a month ahead schedule. Want to know about the new features? The WordPress team prepared a brief video tour of version 2.6:
Here are the main new features in 2.6:
- Post Revisions – Wiki-like tracking of edits;
- Press This! – Post from wherever you are on the web;
- Shift Gears – Turbo-speed your blogging;
- Theme Previews – See it before your audience does.
To read more detailed information about the new features, check the WordPress Development Blog.
Thank you WordPress team!
Update: Can you find the Easter egg? (Hint: “Compare Revisions”)
Did this release fix the need for writing a mod_security entry for the image uploader? Also, is the theme preview just what’s show on the video? If so, I believe the theme-tester plugin is still quite useful.

My God..I just upgrade all my blog to WP 2.5 and now they already launch 2.6???
@M@ – I haven’t had any problems with the image uploader, but check this topic.
That’s what I was referring to actually. Write to the .htaccesss file is loosening the security for the Flash uploader to work, but it’s eventually going to be a weak point in security. I didn’t know if this release touched on that.
The new theme preview is worth the upgrade!! I only had 1 plug-in that wasn’t compatible.
I like the new features with 2.6… looks good. However, they still seem as though they haven not fixed the awful widgets interface. We still can’t save unused widgets off like we used to, and we have to reload the whole screen to manage separate sidebars. Ugh. Once they fix that, then I’ll be happy!
yes, i’ll try with my new blogsite…great review thou
Fala Arthur. Valeu a visita, citamos o seu site e o seu nome no nosso último podcast (#9). Abraços!
Those are definitely good features. I just wish the next wordpress app for the iphone would work well.
Good review, keep up the good work.
