I upgraded to Wordpress 2.7 but found that the ‘Press This’ bookmarklet returned this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: htmlspecialchars_decode

It identified line 554 of the ‘wp-admin/press-this.php‘ file. As it turns out, ‘htmlspecialchars_decode‘ is a PHP version 5 function call and I’m running PHP version 4. This fix is to edit wp-admin/press-this.php and change the ‘htmlspecialchars_decode‘ call to the version 4 function call ‘html_entity_decode‘.

Version 2.6 of WordPress.org is now available, almost a month ahead schedule. Version 2.6 “Tyner,” named for jazz pianist McCoy Tyner, contains a number of new features that make WordPress a more powerful CMS: you can now track changes to every post and page and easily post from wherever you are on the web, plus there are dozens of incremental improvements to the features introduced in version 2.5.

A brief video tour of 2.6 has been prepared. If you have 3 minutes and 29 seconds to spare, it’s worth a watch:
