Ho ho ho! Christmas came earlier for WordPress this year. WordPress 2.9 is out with features that you are going to love. I think the most handy one is the new global undo/”trash” undo feature. There were times when I wished I could go back in time and prevent me from clicking that “delete” button. Well, that times are over now!

Other than that, there a few other exciting new things that come along with WordPress 2.9. First and foremost, the new built-in image editor which allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images. I am sure it will come in very handy when you just want to crop or flip an image just after uploading it. There is also this batch plugin update and compatibility checking and this rocking new feature for easier video embeds that allows you to just paste a URL on its own line and..

have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support

Last but not least, another cool new feature that I am definitely going to use is the automatic database optimization support! All you have to do is add a define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true); to your wp-config.php file and your are done!

UPDATE: Note to self: I just love the new “squareish” buttons
