WordPress has finally announced the availability of WordPress version 2.9 “Carmen” named in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae. WordPress 2.9 adds some features for image editing. This is a major upgrade, and brings some really cool new features, including:
+ Trash status for posts, pages, and comments (includes restore and permanent delete)
+ Built-in image editor (crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale images)
+ Batch plugin update and compatibility checking (you can update multiple plugins at once)
+ Easier video embeds (just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv)
+ rel=”canonical” tag support for better SEO
+ database optimization
+ and more..
Here’s a short video summarizing some of the cool things about the new version:
You can download the new version 2.9 from here, or upgrade automatically from your Dashboard by going to Tools > Upgrade.
