Took a sneak peek

On Tuesday, March 18, the first release candidate for WordPress 2.5 was introduced, and me as a true fan, downloaded it to my test installation to see how it works. My special interest belonged to the new Media Library and the widgets panel. I dd some upload testing with the library, and there are obviously some difficulties, because after uploading a media file, there is no sucess message shown, but simply a white page. When closing it, the uploading is not performed, which means, it does not work. It DOES work in IE 7 though.

What makes me happy is the fact that one annoying thing has finally been fixed: Does anyone ever (when using the visual editor) see all div elements turn into p-Tags after wanting to edit the page again? I find this quite annoying, because the layout breaks with all the ps in it. This was why I deactivated the visual editor to write on the mere source code window. Now, I did some div testing in the editor of WP 2.5RC1 and the div stayed there when reopening the page with the visual editor. That made my day
