Hi,
I just saw on my WordPress dashboard that WordPress 2.8 Beta 1 is out. I have had a chance to look at the version details and I’m impressed to see what has been improved and all. The developers have been working long and hard on these changes.
Now, if you want to see what’s new, then I suggest you go visit this link and see all the changes. The changes are for user interface, development & themes & plugins, advanced features, the new widgets API and menu reordering via plugin. There are many changes that will enhance WordPress and this new version is definitely going in the right direction. They have covered many issues and problems experienced by us users and they are getting them solved one by one.
My fav change is the new widget API feature, I think this will help a lot of users and developers. Go have a look and let me know what you think. Let me know of your fav change or changes.
I will probably only update to the new version once it is out of beta testing, this is to ensure that everything has been tested and found to be correct.

Hey you dont have wordpress mobile edition?
Yes Ricky, I don’t have mobile edition installed. I don’t think anyone views my site via a mobile phone. I will have a look and read more about it.
Thanks for letting us know about the new wordpress 2.8 beta version

Not a problem Sandeep
@George
You are wrong I am surfing your website via my mobile only.
You can notice my comment also.There is no recent post shown at the bottom of my comment.It is really sad that commentluv doesn’t show my latest posts when i comment throuh my mobile.
Wow Ricky, I never knew that. I will see what I can do.
Could i ask how long it takes now to load on your mobile and if it looks the same as if you are browsing from a PC or laptop?
@George
).
It looks same on the mobile.You have a little bit more graphics so it takes more time to load.But it is working well and loading time is also good.I am sufing through operamini 4.2 and your homepage takes more time,it almost takes 1.5 times more than other pages which is quite understandable(151kB homepage size,in mobile edition it is almost 5kB
Thanks Ricky for the details, much appreciated.
Wordpress 2.8 comes with some great change. Though before installing it I will wait for it to come out of beta phase.

Hi Harsh – I agree with you totally. The beta releases are cool and all, but I am always scared of things going horribly wrong.

@Fei – Welcome to WP. I hope you enjoy it and have a blast
I’ll be honest with you George. I’d love to tell you the features I’m looking forward to but there is a lot. Most of the language, I don’t really understand. LOL. But I’m like you and will definitely wait until it’s past Beta. Plus, when you upgrade, there’s always the risk that a current Plug-in will no longer work.
