I'm happy to announce that version 2.6 of WordPress.org [url=http://wordpress.org/download/]is now available[/url], almost a month ahead schedule. Version 2.6 「Tyner,」 named for jazz pianist [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCoy_Tyner]McCoy Tyner[/url],contains a number of new features that make WordPress a more powerfulCMS: you can now track changes to every post and page and easily postfrom wherever you are on the web, plus there are dozens of incrementalimprovements to the features introduced in [url=http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-brecker/]version 2.5[/url].
We've prepared a brief video tour of 2.6, if you have 3 minutes and 29 seconds to spare, it's worth a watch:
If you'd like to embed the tour video in your blog, copy and paste this code for the high quality version:

Post Revisions: Wiki-like tracking of editsWith the power of modern computers, it's silly that we still usesave and editing metaphors from the time when the most common method ofstorage was floppy disks. WordPress has always respected the importanceof your writing with auto-save, and now we're taking that to anotherlevel by allowing you to view who made what changes when to any post orpage through a super-easy interface, much like [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia&action=history]Wikipedia[/url] or a [url=http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Subversion]version control system[/url].

This is handy on any blog in case you make a mistake and want to goback to an older version of a post, and it's super handy formulti-author blogs where you can see every change tracked by person.
Press This!: Post from wherever you are on the webA few months ago on my blog we [url=http://ma.tt/2008/05/favorite-posting-bookmarklet/]started a conversation about the posting bookmarklet[/url]in WordPress and which systems we should look to for inspiration, likeFlock, FriendFeed, Facebook, Tumblr, and Delicious. From thesesuggestions and the Quick Post plugin by Josh Kenzer, we developed aPress This bookmark you can add to your toolbar that provides a fastand smart popup to do posts to your WordPress blog:
[img]http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/press-this.gif[/img]
For example, if you click 「Press This」 from a [url=http://youtube.com/]Youtube[/url] page it'll magically extract the video embed code, and if you do it from a [url=http://flickr.com/]Flickr[/url]page it'll make it easy for you to put the image in your post. On myblog I've been experimenting with using different categories and the in_category() function — such as video, quote, aside, et cetera — to create a more tumblelog-like format.
Shift Gears: Turbo-speed your blogging[url=http://gears.google.com/]Gears[/url] is an open sourcebrowser extension project started by Google that developers like us canuse to give you features we wouldn't normally be able to. There are alot of things we can do with Gears in the future, but in this releasewe've stuck to using what's called a 「Local Server」 to cache or keep acopy of commonly-used Javascript and CSS files on your computer, whichcan speed up the loading of some pages by several seconds (they justpop right up!). You can install Gears for Firefox or Internet Explorer,with support for Safari and Opera pending. WordPress works just finewithout it, you just get a little extra juice when you have itinstalled.
Theme Previews: See it before your audience doesNow when you select a theme it pops up a window that shows the themelive with all your content, instead of immediately making it active onyour site. This is great for just test driving themes before making aswitch over publicly, and it is also helpful when you are developing atheme and need to test it but don't want everybody to see your ongoing mistakes development.
Here are some of the smaller features and improvements in 2.6:

In addition to the [url=http://wordpress.org/about/]core commit team[/url] we had contributions from [url=http://dd32.id.au/]Dion Hulse[/url], [url=http://www.ilfilosofo.com/]Austin Matzko[/url], [url=http://ottodestruct.com/blog/]Otto42[/url], [url=http://extralogical.net/]Benedict Eastaugh[/url], and [url=http://www.freecharity.org.uk/]pishmishy[/url]. [url=http://xavisys.com/]AaronCampbell[/url] and [url=http://www.marcozehe.de/]Marco Zehe[/url] provided more than a few patches. Back among the top code contributors is [url=http://www.santosj.name/]Jacob Santos[/url]. [url=http://www.buayacorp.com/]Alex Concha[/url] continues to have WordPress' back. Joining bug reporting and gardening elite are [url=http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Hakre]hakre[/url], [url=http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/]Simon Wheatley[/url], mtekk, and [url=http://www.prescriber.org.uk/]Matty Rob[/url]. Finally, congratulations to our [url=http://westi.wordpress.com/]Peter Westwood[/url]on your recent wedding! I'm also proud to announce we're adding a newcore committer to the team: Andrew Ozz (azaozz) has been a huge help tothe core team this year, particularly around TinyMCE and making theWYSIWYG something that works for you, not against you.
Because of the new capabilities to make WordPress a clean SVNcheckout, plugin and theme authors should do their best to handle formsand posts through WP rather than trying to post to their filesdirectly, here's a quick Codex article about [url=http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests]how to do it using our forward-compatible APIs[/url].
Upgrading2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5 from a plugin and themecompatibility point of view, so upgrades from 2.5 should be prettypainless. The 2.5 branch will no longer be maintain so everyone isencouraged to upgrade. [url=http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress]Our standard 3-step upgrade instructions apply to this release[/url].There were at least 1,984,047 downloads of the 2.5 series, the fastestgrowing release we've ever had, and I think all of those people willfind 2.6 adds a level of polish that really makes WP a pleasure to useevery day. (At least I do. :))
Easter EggThere have been rumors and allegations that there was a so-called「easter egg」 added to 2.6 early in its development. These rumors andallegations are completely false!
