WordPress now stores a history of all your posts in a timeline and you are protected from accidental changes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Faster Admin page loads<\/strong> by caching of static files with Gears. Does the forever loading image upload window irritate you \u2013 now no more. <a href=\"http:\/\/gearsblog.blogspot.com\/2011\/03\/stopping-gears.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Gears<\/a> enables more powerful web applications, by adding new features to your web browser letting web applications (interact naturally with your desktop, store data locally in a fully-searchable database or run JavaScript in the background to improve performance.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Theme previewing<\/strong> \u2013 If you have a blog on <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress.com<\/a>, you would have seen how easy it is to preview a new theme as applied to your site, before it is actually selected and goes live. In self hosted wordpress sites, the moment you click a theme, it is applied to your site and goes live, Though this theme testdrive plugin can fix issue, its great to see it as a part of core wordpress. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote publishing disabled<\/strong> \u2013 Atom Publishing Protocol and the variety of XML-RPC protocols are now disabled by default as they expose a potential to be a security risk. Hooray to a more secure WordPress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom Avatars <\/strong>\u2013 Its really annoying to see those empty gravatar images when the commentor has not uploaded a gravatar. Now WordPress can source an alternative like Identicon, MonsterID, or Wavatars. Anyway if you still havent got a <a href=\"http:\/\/gravatar.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Gravatar<\/a>, get it now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/wordpress-2.6-beta1.zip\" rel=\"noopener\">Download WordPress 2.6 beta 1<\/a> (.zip) now and enjoy.
