As it was announced, wordpress 2.6 has been released and ready for public use. Soon, this blog will be updated to 2.6 as well.

There are some new and neat features in 2.6. Since they have made a 3 minute video and I have to catch a flight, I won’t write much I’ll just provide the link. Here is the link to the official annoucement page for 2.6 at Wordpress Dev Blog. This release also called Tyner, named after Jazz Pianist McCoy Tyner.
