WordPress 2.2 Final “Getz” is now available for download. This version includes a number of new features, most notably Widgets integration and over two hundred bug fixes.
Some of the major changes in WordPress 2.2 are :
- Widgets are now integrated into the WordPress core. This functionality was originally available as a plugin “Widgets”.
- Protection against activating broken plugins.
- Atom feeds have been updated to use the 1.0 standard specification.
- Now you can import posts from your blog on the New Blogger (latest version).
- Improved AJAX comment management.
- Post Preview moved into a popup window

Post Preview moved into a popup window is an irritating feature. It requires more clicks to see my drafts and I normally want to see them and it effects the way I write. Other than the bugs which must have been good, otherwise nothing very exiting.
John Chow infact downgraded as he noticed issues in the widget thing.
Anyways I’ve updated.

Post Preview moved into pop-up window is necessary for me only when I complete composing the post. Otherwise for me it is a complete bandwidth hog.

Why should I care for BW? I’m making my Office BW to good use.

Hehe … not everyone is lucky like you.
On second thoughts, the post preview option (pop-up for iframe) could have been given.
