- Media uploader and gallery improvements
- Image caption and image editing fixes
- Press This fixes
- Ability to toggle between the flash uploader and a regular browser uploader
- Notification bubble on the Plugins menu when plugin updates are available
See the full list of changes since Beta 3.

Oh cool! I can hardly wait for the final release.
Great stuff!
I love the changes you guys are doing on what is already the best blogging software in the business.
Can’t wait for 2.6!
How about getting this ticket in, on the grammar in the Gears box?
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7176
Thanks! Really a good job!
Great job wordpress! Does it mean that it will be officially release on monday?
I agree. WP 2.6 is ready for release.
I’ve worked with all betas on my test install and WP 2.6 RC-1 is running on my live blog now… Works like a charm…
Kudos to the WP Devs!!!
oh my God..
I’m still use wp ver 2.3 bcoz of plugin compatibility issues.
2.6 is looking like one of the greatest releases to date. I can’t wait to bring all my sites up to current
WordPress is getting better with each upgrade. But with WP 2.6, does it fix the common image upload problem?

Wow, image caption and image editing. I’ll give 2.6 RC1 a try tonight. I’m glad to see media uploader given the attention coz its where I really hope to see improvements.
Am I getting something wrong?
When I check the trac database for 2.6 I still see 2 blocker tasks and 43 with high priority – hasn’t changed much IMO from Beta3 to RC1 …
I can’t activate any theme,
I click – and than I see a full screen with the new theme and no link to activate it

Works wonderfully for me, as every single release I’ve tried of WordPress, back in 1.5 days.
Great work !
WP just keeps getting better and better.
Thanks for all the hard work.
Looking forward to running 2.6 and 2.7 and 2.8……..

Terrific. I hope this will be as great a change as the 2.5 from the previous versions. Thanks for your work guys.

Yes, it works just fine.
Is there a reason why you add 10px to the initial width? In media.php in wp-includes you can change that to 0, in case this messes up your caption-designs before wp-caption was around…
It did in my case,… so I wonder why?
Thanks. Great release!
Any reason there are no tags in SVN for the betas and RCs?
Yay! On 14th is my birthday and on 14th WordPress 2.6 is releasing. I guess a gift for my b’day.

Now will 2.6 wreak havoc on existing templates? I have noticed, for example, that with the popular Cutline theme, even a switch from one 2.5.x to another 2.5.x version, some heavy-duty code changes in fundamental files were required, which I was only able to implement because one helpful soul had actually posted a fix to the WP forums (I find that theme creators and those knowledgeable in the coding are not exactly helpful and leave most questions for urgent help in the forums unanswered).
So before the final 2.6 comes out and is ready for download and installation, I’d like to know whether this will result in hassles and headaches with existing themes or not.

the Flash-based uploader causes a Segmentation Fault in Apache – where’s the Browser based uploader option works just fine.
/var/log/messages

Image caption feature: I think it would be nicer if you separate the alternate text for image and caption. Sometime we don’t need the caption, but just the alternate text only.

Well … I don’t use the WordPress uploading functionality, i don’t use this „Pres This“ thing (whatever it be), i don’t use TinyMCE (for mit it’s no editor, it’s affliction) and i check the plugin page daily if there be updates.
Are there any useful (for me!) updates in 2.6?
Hey, bro, i am waiting for WP 2.6 final.
Come on!
I really hated the Flash uploader for images in 2.5. So I only updated one of my unimportant blogs. It’s good to hear the old uploader is back again. I’ll test it this week.
Am I able to get from 2.3 to 2.6 directly?
Upgraded to 2.6-RC1, working great so far. One thing I wish to have is a “proper” gallery system, like NextGen or WPG2, integrated into WordPress base software. I know they work great as plugins too, but I kind of consider this as a base feature set. It is sometimes a bit clumpsy when plugins are not compatibility-updated to new versions of WordPress quickly enough.

Can’t wait to start using 2.6… awesome improvements!

Although this version was not suposed to make great changes in WP, I feel this small improvements will make the WP best-of-all blog system position even stronger. The adoption of Gears is great, even for me, who use Windows Live Writer to post. Now I consider start bolgging from the WP Writer page.
PS: It’s curious that Blogger, that is a google service, does not uses Gears, and WP uses.

Is auto upgrade of WordPress part of 2.6? I find it difficult and a little dangerous to upgrade versions and if it can somehow be done as easily as upgrading plugins (e.g. “there is a new version of this plugin, click here to automatically upgrade to the latest..”) that would be very helpful..
