WordPress 2.8 “Baker” Released

WordPress 2.8 “Baker” is now live to the world! http://bit.ly/wordpress28 (spread the good word)

Yup. It is here, and you can read more about the new features here. To upgrade to the latest version using subversion while Automattic haven’t tagged the 2.8 –

Go into your previously checked-out WordPress directory
Run svn switch -r 11549 http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/
Navigate to http://yourblob/wp-admin/upgrade.php

Done! You are running WordPress 2.8! Of course some plugins and themes might not work but who cares. You are now using the latest and greatest :) Most new features are admin panel related, but the one that interests me the most is:

Support timezones and automatic daylight savings time adjustment

Yes — it’s about time!

Heh i want to upgrade but I also don’t feel like doing the plugin dance. I run way too many blogs. I’ll take the approach I usually do…hang back for a bit until my fav plugins are updated. I just get too mad when things break LOL

“[I]t’s about time!” — That was delicious. :)
