WordPress 2.1 “Ella” Released
January 25th, 2007 by Jason
The latest major release of the greatest blogging engine WordPress 2.1 “Ella” is now available!
It includes tons of new features, including over 550 bug fixes.
If you’re already running WordPress 2.0.x and your hosting company offers Fantastico from the control panel, you may upgrade your existing WordPress installation from there with just a few mouse clicks.
I’ve upgraded one of my sites to WP 2.1. So far all of my WordPress plugins seem to be working fine. However, some of the toolbar buttons in the TinyMCE rich editor failed to appear in Firefox 2.0 but appeared fine in IE7. Strange!
I had wished the WP admin interface to take on a more compact look (with smaller fonts) but it remained almost the same as the previous versions.
I also understand that the popular Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin does have an issue with WP 2.1 in that tags are wiped when a comment is approved. (Yikes!)
So, what’s your take on the new version?
