Wordpress 2.9 sudah dirilis

Sudah lihat di dashboard teman-teman ? Kalau belum coba perhatikan sekali lagi. Ada pemberihuan bahwa Wordpress 2.9 sudah siap untuk digunakan.

Wordpress 2.9 ini diberi nickname “Carmen” yang ditujukan untuk menghormati ” magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae” .

Perbedaan atau pengembangan dari WP versi sebelumnya adalah :

• Penambahan fungsi ‘trash’ . Jadi pada bagian post, page dan comment akan ada tambahan atau sebenarnya lebih tepat perubahan dari item ‘delete’ menjadi ‘trash’ . Bedanya adalah dengan fitur trash ini kita bisa me-restore kembali file yang kita hapus tadi. Berbeda dengan sebelumnya yang langsung hilang.
• Penambahan fungsi ‘editing image’. Walaupun masih sederhana, sebatas crop dan resize, tetapi bisa membantu aktifitas kita, terutama yang nge-blog menggunakan HP, yang tentunya tidak memiliki fasilitas editing image layaknya PC.
• Adanya update plugins notifikasi. Jika sebelumnya kita hanya melihat angka di kotak kecil, kini kita bisa melihat plugins apa saja yang sudah tersedia update-nya.
• Mudah dalam memasukan video. Kali ini cukup mudah dengan hanya memasukan url yang tepat untuk bisa menampilkan video.

Selain itu, ada perubahan dalam sistem yang lebih baik. Diantaranya : (artinya cari sendiri ya …  )

• We now have rel=canonical support for better SEO.
• There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your wp-config.php file by adding define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);.
• Themes can register “post thumbnails” which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.
• A new commentmeta table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework.
• Custom post types have been upgraded with better API support so you can juggle more types than just post, page, and attachment. (More of this planned for 3.0.)
• You can set custom theme directories, so a plugin can register a theme to be bundled with it or you can have multiple shared theme directories on your server.
• We’ve upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie.
• Sidebars can now have descriptions so it’s more obvious what and where they do what they do.
• Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories — like post types!
• Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user’s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.
• The XML-RPC API has been extended to allow changing the user registration option. We fixed some Atom API attachment issues.
• Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one.
• When you’re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save. (Thank goodness!!!)
• The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet.
• Custom taxonomies are now included in the WXR export file and imported correctly.
• Better hooks and filters for excerpts, smilies, HTTP requests, user profiles, author links, taxonomies, SSL support, tag clouds, query_posts and WP_Query
