- Syntax Highlighting. Image via Wikipedia
The WordPress 2.8 beta is available, it was released 16/5, and there’s lots of new features in the 2.8 beta version. Two great features, are syntax highlighting in theme and plugin editor and a new Theme Installer! I’ve often wondered why Automattic didn’t included this in 2.7, but I’m glad to hear it’s coming in 2.8. Another small, but useful, function is that in 2.8, you can save a draft of post by pressing CTRL/+C. Very handy! Now there’s also a description field for tags, like for the categories. I’m not sure if anyone will use this, because it’s so much work to do if you want to describe every tag on your blog…
There’s many small features, like “improved admin buttons” and invisible classes. I look forward to when the finished version will release, but meanwhile I’ll perhaps test the beta. ;-)
