WordPress released version 2.6 of the self-hosted WordPress blogging software. I upgraded this blog using the Automatic Upgrade plug-in with marginal results. The plugin hung on the reactivation of all my plugins, so I had to go back in and manually re-activate them all. Other than this one glitch, everything seems to be working fine. Let me know if you notice otherwise.

WordPress now includes Gears support, so you can work off-line on your posts. Additionally, you can go back to previous revisions of your posts, the dashboard looks slightly different, and there is a new “press this” option to include links to articles, images, etc. that you find while browsing the internets. I haven’t had much time to use the new version, so I’ve included WordPress’ video description of the changes, for anyone that’s interested.
