Wordpress 2.9 is out!

The 2.9 version of WordPress has launched today. The most spectacular new features are targetting end-users, for example the built-in image editor, batch plugin update or the trash feature for posts.

For designers, these are the news that should be of interest (copy-pasted from the original announcement):
 

• 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.
• 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.Dont wait around Upgrade to Wordpress 2.9 Today!
