[Update @ 3:06AM SLT: Eh, on second thought, i’ll do this later!]

As previously announced on the WordPress official development blog, WordPress 2.3 is released, and will soon be deployed on my blog . The release holds some awesome features, including tagging posts in addition to categories, canonical URLs — who fix corrected post “slugs” (the pretty URLs you see on your address bar on 99% of WordPress blogs), broken or cut-off emailed links, and more, and a fix of the WYSIWYG system, used to write posts online, that is much similar to office software, like “Microsoft Word”, “Open Office: Write”, and more.

Two more features which I have not mentioned due to un-needing-ness, is the new “Pending Review” function that helps crew-operated blogs, like the Official Linden Blog, where there is at least 1 editor that checks posts before posting them to the world, and the “Update Notification” features, that is very handy in upgrading times, which hardly occur. It sends your entire system data “log”, to api.wordpress.com , which then checks your configuration against the plugins database for compatibility with the new version.

One thing i’m afraid of, is the compatibility of my activated plugins and styles, with WordPress 2.3 . Really freaky and “scary” O.O .

Well, i’m gonna start the upgrade soon to 2.3 . At 1:10PM GMT+2 (3:10AM SLT), i’ll start the upgrade. Should take a minute or so .
