Wordpress 2.6 officially out today. Check out this video from the Wordpress guys.

… and almost a month ahead of schedule! In addition to the laundry list of features below, check out this video from the Wordpress team:

Laundry list of new features and fixes. I’m not a Wordpress programmer so my wording may not be exact. This is my translation:

Integration of Google Gears. When available to speedup and cache static files that are loaded every time you visit your WordPress admin panel.
Config file moved from root.
XML-RPC not enabled by default for external applications. You will need to explicitly give external apps permission.
Content directory can be moved. This means you can have shorter image URLS. Nice!
Customizable avatars.
Lots of javascript upgrades to WYSIWYG windows and such.
Enhanced theme previews.
Activate multiple plugins at one time or delete several (as in physically remove from server) at once.
Tumblr-like functionality
Post revisioning. Keeps track of all post revisions so you can go back and track changes. It’s becoming more a full-fledged CMS every version!
