Today Wordpress 2.3 was released (see the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.3">release notes</a>). I've already updated Ariejan.net, of course, and I'm now able to use all of the following neat new features:
<ul>
	<li>Tagging (you can convert your categories to tags if you like)</li>
	<li>Update Notifications when new versions of your plugins or WordPress are released</li>
	<li>Improved post and draft management</li>
	<li>Mark articles as 'pending review'</li>
	<li>A new and improved visual editor (which doesn't suck! Wow!)</li>
</ul>
I highly recommend you check out the the current WordPress release from SVN. This will make future updates very easy. Read more on that <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion#Tracking_Stable_Versions">here</a>.

So, go ahead, grab that new WordPress!
