Even though I haven’t tested this new release yet, it looks like 2.6 is going to be a good improvent after 2.5.1.  Also, they are planing to release another version today. As they announced before, they were planing to release a stable version in mid July. So it’s probably going to be the final release. For more information, you can go to Boren’s site to read the last announcement on this.

Here is a list of couple of features;

• Media uploader and gallery improvements
• Image caption and image editing fixes
• Press This fixes
• Ability to toggle between the flash uploader and a regular browser uploader
• Notification bubble on the Plugins menu when plugin updates are available

A link is avaliable at boren’s site for full list of features.
