Wordpress 2.1 Features List

The Wordpress Codex now includes a list of all the features of the upcoming 2.1 version of the popular blogging software. As many Wordpress users know this is a major upgrade. The current 2.0 line will continue to be supported for years but I would highly recommend upgrading after looking at all the new featured. Here are the features:

• Much more efficient database code, faster than previous versions
• Autosave
• Tabbed editor
• Lossless XML import and export for moving between WordPress blogs
• WYSIWYG spellchecker
• Search engine blocker for private blogs
• You can set any "page" to be the front page of your site, and put the latest posts somewhere else
• Links can now have sub-categories
• Redesigned login screen
• More AJAX to make custom fields, moderation, deletions, etc all instant
• Pages can now be drafts, or private
• Minor admin redesign
• Upload manager
• Faster dashboard

The new version also has some developer/power updates and fixes more than 550 bugs and glitches. Also if you have never upgraded your Wordpress version before or simply need a refresher be sure to check out the Upgrading WordPress page as well.
