11 June: wordpress 2.8 is officially released and is among us
Pochissime ore fa è stata rilasciata la versione definitiva di WordPress 2.8, the popular blogging platform used for my blog.
As they wrote, were placed almost 1000 bugs, has improved the management of themes and plug-ins.
Who uses version 2.7 or lower, surely know that the word appeared in the Dashboard “E'dipsonibile WordPress 2.8 ! Update it now”. If you do not appear, you can go to the site to WordPress and download the zip file and manually update.
Thanks to Google Translator Kit I mentioned yesterday, I could translate and fix the mistakes of the release page official, illustrating the news. I also invite you to see this interesting video:
wordpress 2.8
I am very happy to announce to everyone that the latest and greatest version of WordPress, version 2.8 “Baker”, is immediately available for download. 2,8 is a nice release of WordPress, with improvements themes, widget, taxonomies, and overall speed. We also placed over 790 bug. This version is named in honor of observing trumpeter and singer Chet Baker.
The first thing you'll notice is that visually 2,8 is very similar to 2.7, with only a few small tweaks here and there. However, once you have it thoroughly investigated, you will appreciate the news.
New improvements
First, 2,8 so it is faster to use. We have changed the way and the style is not WordPress scripting.
The core and plugin updaters in previous versions of WordPress have been such a success that we decided to leave them. You can now browse the entire theme directory and install a theme with one click from your dashboard.
If you make changes or corrections to the themes or plugins from your dashboard, you will appreciate the new editor CodePress syntax highlighting which gives priority to plain text editor. Also, there is now contextual documentation for the functions in the file you are editing, right below the editor.
If there were problems with the first widget, This version should be your savior. We have completely redesigned the interface widgets(it was not possible with the 2.7) to allow you to do things like change them on the fly, have multiple copies of the same gadgets, widget drag-and-drop tra barre laterali, and save inactive widgets so you do not lose all their settings. Developers now have access to a much cleaner and robust APIfor the creation of widget, also.
Finally, you should explore the new screen options on each page. And 'tab at the top right. Now, for example, if you have a large monitor, you can set the dashboard to four columns of widgets instead of the two that is the default. On other pages you can change the number of items per page show.
And even more
You can read the complete list of the more than 180 new features, changes, upgrades and improvements of the Codex. La lista es-shirt!
The Future
We are already thinking about the next version, 2.9 and 3.0. Keep an eye out for a better media management, better control of dependencies, versions of templates and themes, and of course the legendary WordPress MU, announced at WordCamp San Francisco two weeks ago.
