WordPress 2.8 “Baker” released with major improvements

WordPress has released the new 2.8 “Baker” version. I already did the automated update and I have to say that I really like it.

These are the new features of WP 2.8 Baker:

• Browsing and installing new themes within the WP panel
• CodePress Editor: syntax highlighter and contextual documentation for functions
• the widget interface has been redesigned
• new screen options allow rearranging of every page
• and many more (see full list of changes here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.8)

There is even a video you can watch to see the new features in action:

You should update too, but don’t forget to make a full backup before you start.
