Thanks dude. this is a good update.
I especially like the “reply to comments for the admin”
A new admin UI. Wasn’t it like it like WordPress 2.5 (March 2008) wordpress had a new admin UI. I mean the blog tells “in collaboration with Happy Cog and the community”.
So Happy Cog wasn’t that great or did they combine? … Wow I’m actually really curious! I love the UI so far and I’m really content of it, except for the ‘Add Image Popup’.
So curious about the improvement … any details 😛
What you mean with “Ability to hide columns on the content index pages”? The menu they mean? :S
I think the new admin panel will be even better as it support resolutions larger than 1024
I have no idea on that part as I have not tried it myself. I am waiting for the beta
awesome, i think i should upgrade to this too.
just need time for this. huhu
Thanks for that list. It’s very informative and serves to clarify a lot of things.
Thank you for your nice plugins!!!

Thank you for your excellent plug-ins ( sticky ) and this update, the new UI is very nice and I think your plug-in will work smooth on it too.
