This is something you don’t see every day, an early release of a blogging platform. WordPress 2.6 is out, almost a month ahead of schedule, which is just smashing, isn’t it? Among the news you’ll find Google Gears support, image captioning, a revamped Press This! bookmarklet, wiki-like revisioning of posts, and so on. This video gives a brief overview:
Grab WordPress 2.6 from the download page. As always, we encourage you to update, if nothing else but to keep your blog safe.

I wrote a tutorial where you can use a plugin to automatically upgrade to WordPress 2.6 in 5 minutes without any problems.
Have fun and good luck with the upgrade!

The new updates are terrific, but what I’m hoping is that this version includes the ability (which WordPress once had) to publish a post automatically on a certain day and time.
WordPress 2.5 and 2.5.1 does not include that option, and it’s sorely missed. I travel a lot and find it bothersome to open my laptop just to publish posts that no longer publish automatically.

@ Solo:
Actually, that feature was never removed. It is now slightly hidden under Publish Status > Publish Immediately > Edit. The hope is that it will be more prominent in upcoming versions.
