WordPress 2.9 Release
Posted by Nick Aviles on December 22, 2009
The long awaited WordPress version 2.9 has finally arrived! Aside from being the world’s best blogging platform software, WordPress version 2.9 offers many new great features that are not previously available in any other versions of WordPress, so you should consider upgrading right away.
WordPress 2.9, also known as “Carmen”, was named in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae. You can upgrade easily from your Dashboard by going to Tools > Upgrade, or you can download from WordPress.org. Watch the video below to view some of the cool features of WordPress 2.9:

The new coolest stuff about WordPress 2.9 upgrade are:
- Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
- Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
- Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
- Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
