WordPress 2.9 Update

In case you haven’t heard yet, a new update to WordPress was recently released (version 2.9).  I’ve already updated all the demos to the new version.  I’ve also updated two themes, New Church and Company Store, to work with the new version.  There was an issue with the post template feature, but that has been fixed now (fixed the week of Christmas too).  All of the other themes are good to go.  Bottom line:  all of my themes are compatible with WordPress 2.9.

Each year WordPress tries to have three updates to the software.  Every time a new version goes to the beta testing stage, I test my themes to ensure compatibility.  If there is ever an issue, I issue an update.  All updates are included with the cost of an individual theme or theme package so there is no additional charges involved.

As for new features with WordPress 2.9 two you will most likely be excited about are an image editor and a WordPress trash can.  The image editor allows you to make some basic edits like cropping and resizing.
The trash can works like it does on your computer.  Now when you delete a post or page, it isn’t lost forever, you can recover it out of the trash.  Rather handy if you accidentally delete the wrong thing.

What feature do you think WordPress needs to add next?
