   WordPress has released the Beta version of WordPress 2.8 and called the public to test it and file bugs. A lead developer of the WordPress development team has stated that they have implemented a lot of high-rated features listed in the WordPress Ideas Forum.

   The lead developers have given top priority to widget management, theme browser/installer and performance upgrades for the 2.8 version. Apart from this, they have tried to fix some bugs.

   I have listed some of the new features that caught my attention:

   1. New Theme Installer routines
   2. Add Documentation (function) lookup to Theme and Plug-in editors
   3. Use “Custom Header” for menu text and revise Default theme to reflect change
   4. Separate Comments into a separate postbox, from Discussion postbox, on the Edit Post screen
   5. Make tags accessible without Javascript on the edit screen
   6. Don’t ask for confirmation when marking a comment as spam
   7. Don’t notify post author of own comments
   8. Allow the dashboard widgets to be arranged in up to four columns as set via the Screen Options tab.
   9. Improved Admin icons (grey-to-transparent shadows)
   10. Add column “Rating” in Administration > Links > Edit
   11. Improved Widget user interface
   12. Add toggle all button to the Gallery tab in the uploader
   13. Support more than one gallery on the same page
   14. Improved database performance
   15. Improved performance for script loading
   16. Timezone enhancements for PHP 5
   17. Add a function to output a generic widget anywhere in a template
   18. Make login more pluggable
   19. Add support for blocking all outbound HTTP requests
   20. HTTP API updates and fixes
   21. Add filters so AIM, Yahoo, and Jabber IM labels in user profiles can be changed.
