Word­Press 2.8 (code­name “Bak­er”) was released this evening, and it’s a nice evo­lu­tion of every­one’s favourite blog­ging engine/Content Man­age­ment Sys­tem. 2.8 pol­ish­es up the already stel­lar 2.7 admin inter­face with the abil­i­ty to view and install themes direct­ly, as well as huge­ly improved wid­get man­age­ment.
