So glad to have it!
Its release candidates have been around for some time but I was too patient to jump in, until today, when the release was finally available. The upgrade was smooth, except for WP Sticky plugin, which is not compatible (and apparently not being developed any more); but it matters not now, for the new version of WordPress handles this function.
The back end has been greatly and elegantly renovated. The previously horizontal menu tabs are now on the left, saving a lot of space and making the writing area more comfortable. Not only the appearance has been changed; the menu items have been regrouped, reducing quite a number of clicks to everyday accessed functions.

There are many other convenient features added into this new version. For example, you can reply to comments on dashboard, and it works seamlessly with WP Thread Comment plugin.

The QuickPress on the dashboard allows fast posting without entering the writing panel.

The official blog said it all. If you are a WordPress user, you will certainly love it!
Watch this video and you will see! I readily upgraded my blog to 2.6 when the update-is-available notification showed up.
If you can’t see the video in RSS reader, please come to the original post.
Now running WordPress 2.5.1. I can’t see the difference in performance, but since it’s a security upgrade, I just did it.
After so many updates, I have successfully minimized the amount of manual customization after every upgrade. I’ll try to make it zero, then I can use the automatic upgrade plugin.
今天WordPress终于正式推出了2.5版。前几天看了RC2的演示,心水不已,于是我马上升级。
后台果然漂亮好多啊~之前的后台我嫌太难看,所以用SpotMilk的后台模板,现在不需要了。
好看还在其次,2.5版的后台似乎比之前快了不少。
话说2.3之后就是2.5,2.4跑哪儿去了?难道是什么不详的数字?
