WP Version 2.8 Now Available

WP Version 2.8, Matt has recently announced that WordPress 2.8, named Baker is now available after a series of tests. WP 2.8 version represents a nice fit and finish release for WordPress with a lot of improvements to themes, widgets, taxonomies, and its overall speed. It was mentioned that over 790 bugs have been fixed. Nice to know that. The release was named in honor of the noted trumpeter and vocalist Chet Baker.

Additional of over 180 features, changes, improvements and upgrades are packaged with this version. Exciting to hear right?

Not only that, edits or tweaks of themes or plugins makes a lot more easier from your dashboard because of its new CodePress editor which gives syntax highlighting to the previously-plain editor. Also, a contextual documentation for the functions in the file you’re editing linked right below the editor is already avalaible. I can't wait to test the new version.

If you would like to know the details of its features, you can found it here and you can download the new WP 2.8 version immediately on this link. Download WP Version 2.8 now.

Although the system has been subjected to a series of tests, it is important that you back up your files first when you perform upgrade process. There is a plugin that does the upgrade with ease. You can email me at admin AT webseostreams.com if you have a difficulty in finding the said plugin.
