Yesterday we noticed the WordPress site had 1.5 available (a jump from version 1.2.2 in effect). Today we received our official notice of the release in an email from Matt Mullenwig. It touts the following as the short list of advances:
Here’s the Cliff Notes version:
* Easier template system
* Gorgeous new default template
* Great comment management
* Refined administration
* Faster, more secure, smaller, cuter, et cetera 😉
* Still free as a bird
The complete rundown of improvements is on the WordPress Site.
