WordPress 2.9, Carmen

A couple of days ago, the guys at Automattic announced the latest release of the mighty blogging platform; WordPress 2.9, Carmen – named after a Jazz vocalist Carmen McRae -. This release comes really with a lot of cool features like the one I really love, Trash. So, instead of the old dialogue, “You are about to delete this post..bla bla bla”, you can now just move it to trash, cause most of time you are really sure that you are deleting a post! Then you can permanently remove it from your trash, or as we can say, empty your trash.
