WordPress 2.5 | Release Notes | Download

I just downloaded the beta RC2 last night to test it out with the ComicPress theme, then surprisingly the final version shows up today. From what I can tell, everything should work fine with the ComicPress 2.1 theme. I haven’t seen any problems in a test scenario.

EDIT: There is a problem with navigation. Using ComicPress with WordPress 2.5 it no longer distinguishes between next and previous comic or blog posts. Fix on the way!

This is a big upgrade though, mainly on the back end, the admin panel. You might want to give it a few days for quick fix releases or make sure it works with any of your necessary plugins. Unless your just excited to try out the fancy new panel and features, which you can read about here. Also you can see a screencast of the new admin panel in action here.

Some of the new features:

• Simplified customizable admin area
• Multiple file uploading
• One-click plugin upgrades
• Built in galleries
• Media library
• Gravatars
