WordPress 2.6 Released
- 2 Comment
Wordpress’s newest baby Tyner is live and kicking now. Yes, the much awaited Wordpress 2.6 (which is code named as Tyner after the famous jazz pianist McCoy Tyner) has been released and is available for download. None of us were expecting it this quick (it is out, a month ahead of schedule) and therefore it comes as a nice surprise.
This one has got more features and is more efficient than Brecker .More features = more headaches for us 
and so we will be maintaining a safe distance from it. But for you guys we did give it a try on our other blogs and we understand there are some pretty cool features in it.
Going with the real definition of an upgrade (Take old bugs out, put new ones in), Wordpress developers have been able to fix about 194 bugs in this upgrade.
Some of the major additions made in Wordpress 2.6 are….
- Wiki Style Editing (Post Revisions and restore to previous posts).
- You can now easily drag and drop the galleries (got to be the coolest one)
- Image Captions have been activated so that images can now have captions below them.
- Bulk Management of Plugins.
- Theme preview feature
- Come on, what are you waiting for. Go and check it out for yourselves. You don’t want us to be telling you everything.
Anyways go through this video for more ….
You can download Wordpress 2.6 here and see the number of downloads here.
Some other plugins that might help you in future:
Did you like the WP 2.6? Don’t forget to tell us…
Now let’s shift our focus to the post that we did yesterday about the John Cow WP theme being freely available for download. We can still see the Theme uploaded on the guy’s server, though we have moved up in Google ranking for the keywords we tried out yesterday.
Anyways, we were kind of expecting a reaction from the new John Cow but we haven’t still heard anything from his side. May be he doesn’t have the rights for the theme.
Enjoy Wordpress 2.6 till we meet again.

Yups , WP 2.6 looks quite nice on the first look. I would be able to say more once I have worked on it for a couple of days.

I agree, tyner was the most awaited version of wordpress. Once I upgrade my wordpress then only it will be possible for me to experience its user friendly features. Thanks for the plugin details. I am sure they will help me a lot.
