Exciting times to see that there is a new significant WP update out, 2.9 design wise not a lot has changed, which is great as the usability of the worlds most popular CMS looks pretty cool as well. Although Zemanta plugin takes more of an 80s approach being fairly blocky.
The thing I’m most excited by is the built in image editor and better video embeds. Loads more detail on the official release notes. 500 tickets, 140 contributors, 1 big update. To all that make WordPress possible, the bloggers of the world salute you!
