WP Updates: WordPress 2.7 Beta 2 is ready

| |

It's 23.45H when I woke up and check some updates on the internet like Plurk, Yahoo! Mail and some other links that I surf. Suddenly, a 3 Twitter updates on the lower right corner of my browser caught my attention. An update from a friend, CNETTV and WordPress. What?! WordPress has released another Beta version! Whoa! I immediately checked the link, and here's a quick rundown of changes since Beta 1.

  • The Upload button didn’t always show. Fixed.
  • JS on the Dashboard broke for blogs with no comments, causing several UI elements to “freeze”. Fixed.
  • Recent Drafts Dashboard module didn’t show correct times. Fixed.
  • Various Autosave fixes.
  • Redirect after deleting a page from the editor went back to the deleted page. Fixed.
  • Fixed loading of translations for default TinyMCE plugins.
  • Added avatars to the edit users list.
  • Added some missing translations
  • Fixed some validation errors.
  • Fixed some PHP warnings and notices.
  • Handle inconsistent file permissions during auto upgrade
  • Change Publish box layout to better accommodate internationalized text
  • Fix quick editing of the last page in the Edit Pages list
