So it’s finally here Wordpress 2.1 has been released upon the blogging world. With is come many new features, and enhancments that will hopefully improve the Wordpress experience. A few of the new/updated features include, autosaving of posts, new tabbed editor so you can eaisly flip between WYSIWYG and code modes, spell checking, more AJAX bits to reduce the number of page reloads. A full run-down of 2.1 feaures can be found here.

Some of the changes to 2.1 will undoubtably affect existing plugins and themes. Some of the added developer benefits include, a javascript loader which makes it easier for plugins to include rich functionality and tons of new hooks and APIs. So its time to check to make sure all of your favourite plugins are up-to-date, and that they are Wordpress 2.1 compatible.

Speaking of compatibilty, thats about the only thing left to do as far as Redoable 1.1 is concerned. I’ve now got the release version of 2.1 running locally, and I will spend the next little while testing Redoable. I’ve already found that the changes to how the Blogrll/links are categorised will require some small changes. There are a few things that I have been unable to fix for this release, mainly because I can’t replicate the problem, making it very hard to solve, but I’ll cover that in the next few days when I release Redoable 1.1.
