The folks at WordPress have just released version 2.5 of the popular blog publishing platform. The release happened on March 29, 2008, not too long since the 2.3.3 upgrade.

This latest version of WordPress incorporates several improvements. According to Matt Mullenweg: “multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn’t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts and pages.”

Visibly, what this translates to is improvements in the administration screen, which is significantly different from past editions.
