WordPress 2.5.1 Released
Version 2.5.1 of WordPress was recently released. This update includes 70+ bug fixes, improvements in performance, and a critical security fix. Its worth upgrading just to repair the security issues of the previous version.
The major enhancements in this version are:
- Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
- Better performance for those who have many categories
- Media Uploader fixes
- An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
- Widget Administration fixes
- Various usability improvements
- Layout fixes for IE
The update to this blog was easy to do and went very smoothly. The theme and the many installed plugins are working properly. I recommend all WordPress users to update to this latest version.
You can download WordPress 2.5.1 at the WordPress web site.
