WordPress 2.9 is officially out of beta

WordPress-2.9.6-available WordPress has released their most powerful and most awaited WP release for this year 2010. This release has come up with a lot of features of Images and SEO, they have come up with their own canonical URL’s. WordPress version 2.9 “Carmen” named in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae.

Here are some of the features that will be available to the end users, chack the official list of the features:

    1. Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
    2. Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
    3. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
    4. Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).

Just check out this new release and get your blogs updated.
