Nothing major, just did a quick backup then hit the upgrade button. While things may have changed significantly in the backend code, there really isn’t much to show you here.
- WordPress MU (the multiblog variant of WordPress that is used on WordPress.com) is now built into the maintstream code. Thus endeth the tyranny of MU, a code branch I personally despised.
- Custom menus make it really easy to create a special nav menu. I’ve already used this, and it’s a nice feature.
- They finally let you pick your own username and password for the admin user during installation. Seems like a little thing, but it’s been a system issue since day one with legions of users forgetting to either change the admin user password or to write it down.
- Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies – I haven’t used either, but I suspect that I will soon. Both of these are hardcore CMS functions.
- Scads of new hooks and functions for plugin and theme developers.
Let me know how the port from the old mu to the new multiblog works for certain blogs we both know…
On that one, I wait for the next release. Production stuff people care about NEVER gets a full number upgrade right away. But then, you know that as well as I do.
I agree , “Nothing major” …
