Akhirnya rilis wordpress terbaru versi 2.6 (yang sejak rilis versi ini, mulai dinamakan – seperti halnya rilis Open Source yang lain) telah keluar. Versi ini dinamakan “Tyner”, mengambil dari nama seorang pianis jazz McCoy Tyner. (Anda tahu ? Ternyata McCoy Tyner adalah seorang Muslim Sunni – Nama muslimnya adalah : Sulaimon Saud)
Apa yang beda ?
Dalam keterangan resminya, dijabarkan beberapa hasil ‘improvement’ dari tim nya si Matt. Berikut beberapa fitur yang ditambahkan dalam versi 2.6 :
Here are some of the smaller features and improvements in 2.6:
- Word count! Never guess how many words are in your post anymore.
- Image captions, so you can add sweet captions like Political Ticker does under your images.
- Bulk management of plugins.
- A completely revamped image control to allow for easier inserting, floating, and resizing. It’s now fully integrated with the WYSIWYG.
- Drag-and-drop reordering of Galleries.
- Plugin update notification bubble.
- Customizable default avatars.
- You can now upload media when in full-screen mode.
- Remote publishing via XML-RPC and APP is now secure (off) by default, but you can turn it on easily through the options screen.
- Full SSL support in the core, and the ability to force SSL for security.
- You can now have many thousands of pages or categories with no interface issues.
- Ability to move your
wp-configfile andwp-contentdirectories to a custom location, for “clean” SVN checkouts.- Select a range of checkboxes with “shift-click.”
- You can toggle between the Flash uploader and the classic one.
- A number of proactive security enhancements, including cookies and database interactions.
- Stronger better faster versions of TinyMCE, jQuery, and jQuery UI.
- Version 2.6 fixes approximately 194 bugs.
Hampir semua fitur di atas sangat bermanfaat (setidaknya bagi saya). Paling menarik adalah fitur “Caption” pada image (No. 2). So, ’steal’ the Engine now !
