Seems they are skipping WordPress 1.6 and jumping to WordPress 2.0. Currently they are up to Beta 2. I was looking forward to upgrading to 1.6 when they sprang this on us. I used a couple demo pages and I like lots of the improvements. One of the changes I am glad to see is the Insert Link box now asks for a title tag. It doesn’t default to the text inside the link if you leave it blank, but at least it prompts for it now. This makes keeping it Section 508 compatible easier. Great job to the WordPress team. I doubt I’ll jump in on Beta 2 however.
Edit to add: Oh, and it now has a post preview!… Oh, wait… so does 1.5.2, just looks nicer and noticeable under 2.0.

This is OT but, I’ll have you know that I cut Ari’s hair, not my mom.
See, I’m good for something.
Um…yes… OT. I thought you said you let your mom cut it. Anyhow, stay on topic girl…
