Wordpress 2.1 “Ella”

WordPress 2.1 has just been released. It includes several improved/new features and over 550 bug fixes. Some of the nicest new features are that posts are automatically saved while you’re editing, you can switch between WYSIWYG and code editing instantly while writing, you can hide your blog from search engines, and there’s a new version of Akismet!

One thing I really don’t like about this new release is that !–more– tags also cut RSS feeds — I like to have my frontpage show a minimized list of the most recent posts, but allow RSS-subscribed users to read the full contents of my posts — but… I guess showing full post content on the frontpage as well makes more sense. If you take a look at the frontpage, you’ll notice that Sheeped now makes more sense!

As always, the newest version of Wordpress is available on the WP Download Page.
