WordPress 2.6 is Around the Corner

One point that I’d love to highlight is, there will be a new release for WordPress most probably on August 2008. Well, that means, it’s about less thank 2 months from now and I can wait to see how it performs. John Lamansky through his post always keep his eyes open on development of WordPress 2.6. Check out his post.

Basically, the new version most probably comes will these built-in features as they are still under development.

  • WordPress Auto Upgrade - Version 2.6 will incorporate auto-upgrade option. Great feature since currently we need a plugin or manual upgrade.
  • Theme Preview - Users are able to see what a new theme would look like on your blog before you activate it. Handy, isn’t it?
  • Ability to move wp-config.php - Ability to move wp-config.php one directory level below the public root. Looks like another security measure to me but I like it!

Credit to John for keeping us updated. Don’t forget to check his post.

**Update:
WordPress 2.6 Beta 1 released on June 23, 2008. Read more from Ryan Boren and/or Dougal Campbell.
