WordPress 2.0 변경내용

• More Abstracted Data Layer –
  The core WordPress
  code has been refactored to abstract direct calls to the database when
  adding posts, comments, and other data. This will lead to improvements
  in database access (perhaps even supporting other database engines in
  the future) and plugin development, including…
• New Import System – The new
  import system
  leverages the abstraction done at the data layer, so that import
  routines can call simple functions to convert posts from other blogging
  tools instead of a huge complicated series of queries. Importers are
  also available directly from the admin, so no special process need be
  taken to employ them. (Thanks, tinster.)
• Admin Redesign –
  It’s not so significant as the
  Tiger Admin plugin, but there are a few more gadgets in the admin,
  especially on the Write page. You can now drag sections of the page to
  reorganize them, and click the plus/minus to expand/contract the
  sections.
• The Rich Editor – WordPress
  has a new post editor
  built in that lets you see what you’re going to get without
  having to
  decipher tags. You can also resize the editing area on the fly by
  dragging it, which is pretty cool. Not everyone who has tried it likes
  the WYSIWYG editor, so there is an option to disable it on a per-user
  basis.
• Image/File Uploading – Just
  under the Rich Editor
  in the Write panel, there is a new control that allows you to upload
  and insert images into your posts. WordPress keeps track of these
  images and can even automatically provide dedicated pages to receive
  comments for them.
• Improved Post Preview –
  Instead of displaying the
  post as plain text below the editor, the post is now displayed in an
  embedded frame, using all of the layout and CSS that is normally
  applied to your site. In effect, the post looks exactly
  like it will when you publish it, giving you ample opportunity to
  review the post’s layout.
• User Metadata – To support
  user-based options, the
  user data now sports a much more flexible structure. People who use
  WordPress as a CMS can now use code to add custom data of any kind to
  any user profile.
• User Roles and Capabilities –
  The “user level”
  concept of security has now been replaced with Roles. WordPress
  associates a Role to each user. Roles have Capabilities such as
  “edit
  posts” and “activate plugins” that allow
  certain actions. There is no
  more concept of hierarchical users, but plugin authors can now create
  whole new Capabilities to apply proper permission management.
• Presentation Page Changes –
  WordPress 1.5 lets you
  switch themes, and 2.0 shows you what they look like before you do it.
  If a theme includes a screenshot, you’ll see it in the
  Presentation
  admin panel to help you choose the theme for your site.
• Ajax Category Addition –
  There’s a bunch of ajax
  in WordPress 2.0 and this is probably the most requested use of it.
  This feature lets you add new categories directly from the post-writing
  page.
• Ajax List Management – There
  are a few places in
  the admin that show lists of things and let you delete, like
  categories, posts, comments. Now, instead of reloading, the row turns
  red and then fades out.
• Moved Javascript/Images –
  Version 2.0 uses a lot more javascript than prior versions. Some
  utilities, like FAT
  (Fade Anything Technique) and SACK
  (Simple Ajax Code Kit), can be used by other tools and plugins, so
  it’s
  good to put them someplace where developers know they will reside, and
  outside of the admin directory, which might have weird permissions.
• Theme Admin Pages – The guys
  who worked on K2
  went to some lengths to hack a custom configuration page for their
  theme into the WordPress admin. Now that capability is easily available
  by including a functions.php file with the theme. You can see this at
  work in the new header generator for the Default theme.
• Ping Delay Removed – Rather
  than pinging
  trackbacks and pingbacks when the post is saved (this causes the delay
  you see when posting to WP1.5), the pings are attempted via a different
  method that allows the admin interface to respond more quickly.
• Persistent Cache – There are
  certain types of
  queries that WordPress makes to the database repeatedly. To speed
  things up, the results of these queries are cached to disk. This
  caching is still compatible with other caching plugins, like WP-Cache,
  and could be just enough of a boost for larger sites to avoid
  optimizing everything.
• Database Versioning – Now when
  updates are made to
  the database schema, your admin panel will tell you to run the upgrade
  routines. This is handy because it keeps your database fresh enough to
  support the code that runs on it.
• New Built-In Plugins –
  WordPress 2.0 is now packed
  with the Akismet plugin for comment spam prevention, and the
  WP-DB-Backup plugin for manual or automated database backups.
