Astazi a fost lansata o noua varianta de WordPress – WordPress  2.9 ce aduce cateva imbunatatiri remarcabile la aceasta platforma de blog. Totusi sa speram ca aceasta a fost bine testata si nu au scapat bug-uri de securitate prin ea.

Iata cateva imbunatatiri aduse platformei:

1. Global undo/”trash” feature – reprezinta functia care atunci cand stergeti un articol acesta se va muta in cosul de gunoi si va sta acolo 30 de zile – asta in cazul in care nu va razganditi si il restaurati. Dupa ce articolul a fost bagat in “cosul de gunoi” aveti posibilitatea de stergere definitiva – exact ca la Windows.
2. Built-in image editor – a fost imbunatatita modalitatea de editare a fotografiilor uplodate pe server, avand posibilitatea de intoarcere a imaginilor, taierea acestora cat si modificarea dimensiunilor.
3. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking – aceasta functie da dreptul proprietarului sa upgradeze mai multe plugin-uri o data si verifica in acelasi timp compatibilitatea acestora cu versiunea voastra de WordPress.
4. Easier video embeds – o data cu noua versiune WordPress 2.9 uplodat-ul de filmulete de pe Youtube in blogul vostru devine si mai usor, acestea putand fi introduse cu doar un simplu copy – paste de URL.

ca exemplu:

Check out this cool video:

hxxp:\\youtube.com/watch?v=nTDNLUzjkpg

That was a cool video.

url-ul trebuie sa fie neaparat in mod text si pe o linie separata de restul continutului la fel ca in exemplul de mai sus.

Pe langa aceste 4 modificari importante aduse platformei de WordPress au mai fost adaugate si altele:

• 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
