Wordpress 2.6 is out !!

Wordpress 2.6 Final is released!

This release has fixed lot of bugs and has come up with a lot of new and good features. If you are using Wordpress, i advice you to upgrade it to Wordpress 2.6 now.

Here are the few features that i immediately noticed after i upgraded wordpress to 2.6 version:

• Theme preview — Theme preview functionality would allow you to see what a new theme would look like on your blog before you activate it.
• WordPress Auto-Upgrade — There’s been some early progress on incorporating auto-upgrade for WordPress itself into version 2.6.
• Google Gears support — Now integrated into the WordPress, this feature will allow Google Gears users to experience a faster admin interface, and possibly manage their WordPress blogs while offline (how cool would that be).
• Plug-in page — You can see a bubble on the top of Plug-ins link. It lets you know the number of plug-in updates available without actually going to the page.

• Identicons — In WordPress 2.6 you’ll have the ability to select a default Gravatar for those who don’t have one.
• Post Revisions — Wiki-style revisions management for blog posts: a cool new power-feature, just announced on the WordPress Development Updates blog.
• Image Captioning — As pointed out by Michael, The WordPress image on the top left of this post has an image caption, a built-in feature from the going-to-be-final-WordPress 2.6!

There are many more features.

To implement image captioning, you need to add the Image Captioning CSS style code to your current theme stylesheet.

Just copy paste this Image Captioning CSS style to the bottom of your theme’s CSS:

/* Captions & alignment */
.aligncenter, div.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

.alignleft {
float: left;
}

.alignright {
float: right;
}

.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}

.wp-caption img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0 none;
}

.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 17px;
padding: 0 4px 5px;
margin: 0;
}
/* End captions & alignment */
