Wordpress 2.1 Released
setImgWidth(); Wordpress version 2.1 is finally released this morning. The Wordpress team claims that they had done over 550 bug fixes on this version! Now that’s a lot of bug huh?These are the changes in this new version:
- Autosave makes sure you never lose a post again.
- Our new tabbed editor allows you to switch between WYSIWYG and code editing instantly while writing a post.
- The lossless XML import and export makes it easy for you to move your content between WordPress blogs.
- Our completely redone visual editor also now includes spell checking.
- New search engine privacy option allows you take you to indicate your blog shouldn’t ping or be indexed by search engines like Google.

- Links in your blogroll now support sub-categories and you can add categories on the fly.

- More AJAX to make custom fields, moderation, deletions, and more all faster. My favorite is the comments page, which new lets you approve or unapprove things instantly.
- Pages can now be drafts, or private.
- Our admin has been refreshed to load faster and be more visually consistent.

- Comment feeds now include all the comments, not just the last 10.
