WordPress 2.5 has arrived!

And it’s pretty awesome, in my humble opinion.

Earlier tonight, it was announced that WordPress 2.5 has finally been released, after what seems like an awfully long time. Automattic skipped the 2.4 release, and packed as much tasty php-powered goodness into this release as they could possible manage. Have a look at the post on the dev blog to see what I mean.

Is There Food, and all the blogs I host, have been updated to 2.5. As usual, if you come across anything weird, please let me know and I’ll try to fix it.

To weigh in on what I think of 2.5: I love it. I posted on the wp-testers mailing list the other day to say that, after a short period of adjustment, it’s really hard to go back to 2.3 (I’ve been using 2.5 in beta and RC form for weeks on other sites).

Is it niggle free? No. But then no release with changes this massive was ever going to be. Will things improve? Absolutely. There’ll be plugins or hacks to resolve the majority of complaints people have, and maybe 2.6 (or 2.5.1) will make some more alterations.

But for me, 2.5 is a massive leap in the right direction. I recommend you upgrade, or get someone who knows what they’re doing to do it for you
