WordPress 2.2 “Getz” was released three weeks ago, and after giving the new version a good run through we are ready to begin upgrading client blogs from 2.1.x to 2.2.
In this version they have fixed quite a few bugs, sped up the software and have added “widgets” to the core code. Widgets are mainly used to control the position of sidebar elements via a drag and drop interface within the WordPress administration area.
Of note, most themes will require updates in order to use widgets, some sidebar components may need to be added in order to use widgets & the post preview feature has been removed. If you like the post preview option, there is a plugin available that can be installed.
