Having a play with WordPress 2.6

I’ve installed Beta 3 of WordPress 2.6 down at WordPressGuru. It seems to be running very well and I love the new features like the integrated word count and the ability to preview themes. There are also lots of behind-the-scene changes where you’d need to make sure you have clean eyeglasses on, things like comments in the code and performance improvements, but most users will see the end result of those rather than the changes themselves.

The one gripe I have is that with every release there are changes that older themes don’t support. For example image alignment and captioning work great with the default theme, but don’t see to work at all on any other theme I tried. This means that new WordPress themes have an advantage over older ones, but it’s going to be lots of work for theme designers to make sure everything works.
