The latest version of WordPress 2.8 is now available for download. WordPress 2.8 features improvements to themes, widgets, taxonomies and overall speed.
WordPress 2.8 feels and looks a lot like WordPress 2.7 with some minor tweaks. However, once you dig in you’ll begin to appreciate the changes. For example, WordPress 2.8 is a lot faster to use in the admin backend. Also, you can now browse the entire theme directory and install a theme from your admin screen, with just one click!
WordPress 2.8 also features a re-designed widgets interface to do things like; edit widgets on the fly, have multiple copies of the same widget, drag and drop widgets between sidebars, and save inactive widgets so you don’t lose all their settings.
I recommend everyone upgrade their WordPress installations to this latest version. The speeded up admin area makes it all worthwhile!
