Seems the only real thing I’m using this space for the last while is to test out new releases of WordPress in a live environment and to write a bit about it. This post is no different. I’ve just installed “WordPress 2.8 Release Candidate 1” here to have a look at it and to play. Playing is yet to happen as I don’t have the time right now, but everything seems to be working.
Once final release is available I’ll install, test and decide whether I must upgrade all the sites that I have running off WordPress.
Cursory glance at admin interface impressed me. I will post more at a later stage.
If you’re interested in WordPress 2.8 RC1 then have a look here for your own copy. Final will be released on Wednesday the 10th so wait a few days before you upgrade, or ask your service provider to do it for you. You/they will have to make sure all the plugins you are using work in 2.8 and also that your Theme works the way it should.
I’m a sucker for bleeding edge technology.
