Default 2.5 Relase Candidate 1

Wordpress 2.5 is available for beta testers

Download it here ----->>> http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC1.zip

But why should I do that ? read on

In Matt's words,

A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting?

That'd be correct my friend. I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole. I'd only recommend it in a test environment.

I like that auto plugin updater, I just wonder about overall compatibility and obv my wonder was correct. There can and will be issues.

People like me who might customize their plugin by changing the actual code can really be in for a headache with a simple mouse click too. Hehe

Yeah, I won't be reading that personally... Not until it's more finalized. I have better things to worry about, like this economy.

Other than a few side issues, it actually works quite well. Check our blog, for example.
