Yes you all know by now that Wordpress 2.5 is out, and it is great. I have been using the beta as a test platform for my newest premium theme and I have to say it is a great platform.

The admin area takes a bit of getting used to but is ultimately much better than the previous versions. The media handling is much improved and I absolutely love the new write panel.

For developers there are a few new goodies and options, but I think the greatest feature is that of quicktags and galleries. I plan on taking full advantage of this in the near future and I can imagine most theme developers are already playing with new ideas.

The commented code is also huge for developers, as you no longer have to google functions to know what they do, or read a lot of code to guess it’s use.

All in all I will have to say 2.5 is a great upgrade and the guys at Automattic are really pushing wordpress.
