Hours ago,WordPress 2.9 was officially released.It isn’t a major upgrade,however,some cool functions are still giving us a reason to make an upgrade.The whole upgrade procedures are very easy.You can upgrade easily from your Dashboard by going to Tools > Upgrade, or you can download from WordPress.org.

The official video clips introduces all things about the new release.Here we go:

The cool points of the new version for the users are:

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).

The new WordPress also ensures the smoothest experience as it’s out of thousands of bugs which exist in the previous versions and many improvements have been done here.So I think you’d better to make the upgrade as soon as possible.The benefit is GREAT!

Well,this is a security release of WordPress again.However,I hope the users could upgrade it as soon as possible.My blog was hacked twice because I had only 2-day late to upgrade it.

The first problem in the last WordPress is an XSS vulnerability in Press This discovered by Benjamin Flesch.  The second problem, discovered by Dawid Golunski, is an issue with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache configurations.

You’re able to get the latest WordPress here.

Have a nice day!

In fact I had got a call on September 15th,the day after the installer’s sit visit,informed me that I was not able to get the upgrade to 4Mbps TM Streamyx service.However,I didn’t give it up as I know if I could let them rewiring the 1.75KM copper line to be fiber optics from Central Office(the nearest DSLAM) to my place,I would definitely have the chance to make the upgrade successful.Unfortunately what I thought was so easy.Yesterday I received the mail sent from TM customer service manger who officially ‘refuses’ my request of upgrading.

From the letter,the customer service manager had mentioned that the issue is due to their infrastructure limitation,but no solutions noted yet.I’m wondering when the so-called near future will be.

Two stuff are in my list of focusing now.

• When will Maxis be relisted in Bursa Malaysia?I’m interested in making some investments there and willing to gain some gold from it.
• When will I get Streamyx upgrade to 4Mbps?I don’t think I should be so hard to get that upgrade.However,the fact is it costs a lot of my time till now and nothing happened.
• When will the people in Padang,Indonesia get recovery both physically and mentally?

I just wish every could be fine.

It has been 10 days since I submitted the upgrading form.However,my plan is still stuck with 2M only.

I visited the nearest TM Point last Friday to ask for the updates of my upgrade and I got a reply that they have tried several times to raise up my account to 4Mbps,but the requests are always failed by the internal system.So I can’t even know when I could get upgraded.

Great!I wonder TM needs to spend such a long time to solve a simple internal issue,how could they manage well for the coming HSBB plans which may cause the system to be more complicated?!

I think TM really has to hire more expertise to take part in their expansion.
