This is probably the one piece of major open source news right now. WordPress has released a Release Candidate of WordPress 2.5, which has been highly anticipated by the blogging community. Everyone and every blog is talking about it, even the WordPress Podcast.

If you’re looking for some fantastic new features and a great new appearance, you can wait until the WordPress 2.5 Stable release, or you can download the RC1 now. I am currently sticking with WordPress 2.3.3; you can’t expect me to try EVERY beta and release candidate of all the open source projects! (I did experiment with Joomla! 1.5 RC1, and am currently playing with Firefox 3.0 Beta 4 and Safari 3.0.4 for Windows.)

Great new appearance:

Write Post page of WordPress 2.5

Navigation header

New dashboard

All these new features make WordPress 2.5 closer to the experience of using a hosted service like Blogger, except with much more control over your own site.

You can get WordPress 2.5 RC1 now.
