WordPress 2.7 was officially released yesterday. There are a number of pretty dramatic (yet exciting) changes on the admin side. Here are my favorites:
Upgrading becomes much easier

Look up - directly above this text. See it? That’s one of mu’s newest features. I decided that as a gesture of convenience, mu will now create a short link anytime you publish a post. Since it usually already does it anyway, I decided to make it automatic and give you the chance to display [...]

WordPress 2.6.2 is officially out now, and I’m yet again inconvenienced by having to upgrade. Since I installed from source by unpacking the ZIP file downloaded at WordPress.org, I have to go through the process of doing it all over and overwriting the old material. It’s a real pain and I’m always nervous I’m going [...]

I put mu up on the WordPress plugins site yesterday and it looks like everything’s working now. This post will serve as the central point of contact for all things mu in beta stage. If you’ve got any questions, comments, suggestions, or need help, this is the place to post it. For a description of [...]
