Another Wordpress Upgrade

It was only last week I upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.1.3 and on Wednesday they  released Wordpress 2.2. I still find Wordpress the best blogging system available with lots of choices in themes and plugins but I would still prefer a one button upgrade. Bat has commented about this in one of my previous post before, and I am sure that there are many not-so-techie type of bloggers would appreciate if that feature is available. Anyway, what’s new in 2.2 :

• WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
• Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
• A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
• Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page.
• We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
• Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
• We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.
