After some delays, Automattic has finally released Wordpress 2.5 and is now available for download. The 2.5 branch is nicknamed “Brecker” in honor of Michael Brecker, an exceptionally talented saxophonist.

For a short overview of features with some screenshots, I suggest visiting the RC1 announcement. Or check the screencast of the new Wordpress interface in action. If you want to upgrade and go straight with the good stuff, I suggest checking your theme and plugins first to make sure that you won’t encounter some compatibility issues.
The improvements in 2.5 are numerous, and almost entirely a result of your feedback: multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn’t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts and pages.

If you haven’t notice yet, my blog is now sporting a new look since last week. After a couple of days of customizing the CSS and PHP scripts, I finally decided to launch the new theme. My blog is now back with the blue and white look which is quite similar to the theme I use last year. Unfortunately, I had to change that theme last 3 (or 4?) months ago because of some incompatibility issues after upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.

Finally! After a few days of work, I managed to finish (well sort of) re-designing / customizing this new theme . This is one of the reason why I’m not updating my blog recently. To tell you honestly, I was planning on using a new theme by the start of this year. I already started last December but wasn’t able to finish it on time because I was pre-occupied during the holiday season.
I’m back with the blue and white theme which is what I mostly used. This theme is based from the 3 K2 Redux klein theme by Headsetoptions. It is a modified K2 theme which I then modified for my own preference. By the way, I would like to thank him for helping me out with my inquiries on customizing the theme.
