1. Tips for changing your password After installation, I first found a new prompt message, prompting that the automatically generated password is being used. Does the user need to reset the password? It may seem like a small update not worth mentioning, but sometimes, details are still important. For example, there is another small detail. Tags in Posts in the right menu bar have changed to Post Tags. This may be to let users understand that the page does not have Tags. If you are interested, you can continue to find other problems. 2. Add new theme functions There is an Add New Themes in Apperarance, which allows users to directly search for themes in the official WordPress theme site in the background. Searchable by keywords, tags, and authors, and includes very detailed filtering capabilities such as filtering by color, layout, fixed/adaptive width, features, and special items. What's more important is that you can preview and directly download, install and activate it. However, the speed doesn't seem to be that great. In addition, the theme activation page also adds three links for activation, preview and deletion, which is more intuitive, instead of having to click on the theme preview first and then activate it like before. 3. Widgets configuration interface changes The Widgets configuration interface has been updated to an interface that can be directly dragged and dropped, and is divided into two sections: available Widgets and inactive Widgets. This makes it easy to drag and drop some temporarily unused Widgets into the inactive area, but still retain their configuration. information. 4. Plug-in editor and theme editor with code highlighting function Developers should like this update. In WordPress version 2.8, both the plugin editor and the theme editor support code highlighting and line number display. And under the plug-in editor, there is a function description, which allows developers to easily find the detailed usage of these functions when modifying the plug-in. 5. New user notification function This feature is great for WordPress websites that open user registration. In User -> Add New, in addition to updating the interface, a Send Password function is also added. This feature allows administrators to add a new user in the background and send a notification containing the password to the user's email address. 6. More updates There are also some more small updates, such as: the time zone setting in General, which previously only had UTC options, now has many country and city options added (maybe because some users do not know the time zone of their location). Personally, I think this function is a bit redundant, because after adding the country and city options, the option box is too long, making it more troublesome to find. The interface, especially the input box, has been updated in many places. For example, the input box has become rounded (I saw it in FF, but it should not be rounded in IE).
That's all I've found so far. If you find other important updates, please feel free to share them.
