Wordpress 2.8 is out, Baker!

Man ohh man it looks sweet. I havent got­ten around to installing yet and to be hon­est I´m a bit reluc­tant to do it with out some kind of test­ing envi­ron­ment first. Wouldnt want the site to come crash­ing down on me how­ever unlikely that is.

But being rel­a­tively new to the whole word­press uni­verse I´m find­ing all this very excit­ing. I just love word­press. It was very nice to see that they have made a very good intro­duc­tory video for this ver­sion. They also explain the whole jazz thing, very smooth, very smooth indeed.

What has me most excited is the new han­dling of wid­gets, mul­ti­ple instances with out any has­tle. And they just look jazzy smooth.

So I was won­der­ing if any­one read­ing this had already upgraded to 2.8? Care to share your thoughts? Enlighten the rest of us?

Be sure to check out the video and also head over to wordpress.tv where there is loads of video word­press goodness.

Thanks to Winold Reiss for the illus­tra­tion in the back­ground, may he rest in peace.

    Yeah Stjáni, I´ve updated to 2.8.
    If it aint bro­ken, improve it!

  3. Haven’t installed it yet, but am con­sid­er­ing it eagerly. Might wait a lit­tle to col­lect more responses before decid­ing to make the shift. I want to be sure on 2 areas — com­pat­i­bil­ity with ear­lier ver­sions and stability.

    I haven’t had any prob­lems so far, only the h2 thing I men­tioned. I wouldn’t even con­sider that a problem

    I really like this new ver­sion, it´s very sta­ble and fast. I upgraded from 2.7 with the auto­matic update thing and it went by with a breeze.
