WordPress 2.6 Beta 1
Not ones to sit back and relax, the brains over at Automattic have been hard at work creating more features for their new release of WordPress 2.6
While some are bound to complain that the updates come to fast (yes, people complain about new stuff) I think as long as things continue to get better I'm excited. The 2.5 move was a big leap for me - but honestly I'm glad I did. I'm sure many people will agree that WordPress 2.5 is far superior to previous versions.
