昨天沙浪网才报道了 WordPress 2.9 RC1 的消息，今天开发团队已经宣布，WordPress 2.9 正式版发布。WordPress 2.9 抢先下载：http://wordpress.org/latest.zip

WordPress 的主要的开发者是 Ryan Boren 和 Matthew Mullenweg。Matthew Mullenweg 和 Mike Little 是这个项目的共同创始人。

虽然 WordPress 有很大一部分是由它的爱好者团体所开发和维护的，但是它的主要开发者其实大多是 Automattic 公司的雇员，WordPress 也就因此与该公司有着密切的联系。WordPress 的开发者团体中，测试者也对开发做出了一定的贡献。他们无偿地付出时间和辛劳来测试每一个版本。他们可以把发现的错误和问题提交到邮件列表，也可以提交到 WordPress 项目的Trac平台上。这个平台方便开发者们管理源代码和报告bug，从而使得众多 WordPress 爱好者们都能参与到它的开发中。

博客文字部分摘录如下：

WordPress 2.9, oh so fine

I want to make you mine, all the time… oh wait. Hello. I’m here on behalf of the entire WordPress development team and community to announce the immediate availability of WordPress version 2.9 “Carmen” named in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae (whom we’ve added to our Last.fm WP release station). You can upgrade easily from your Dashboard by going to Tools > Upgrade, or you can download from WordPress.org.

The coolest new stuff from a user point of view is:

1. Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
2. Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
3. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
4. Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
