After Wordpress was updated to Beta 1 and Beta 2, now it’s finally moved into Release candidate 1.Those who have already tested the Beta 1 and Beta 2 versions can test it locally on their systems to see what’s changed.Here is a list of what’s changed in Wordpress 2.9 RC 1.One more thing what Wordpress.org suggests is to test the compatibility of the plugins.

If you are an avid user of plugins there’s a groovy new compatibility feature on the plugin directory where you can vote on whether a plugin is compatible with a version or not and it’ll get registered in the new plugin compatibility checker.Take the case of Akimset already 14 people have said it ain’t compatible with Wordpress 2.9.If you’re a plugin author, of course you should update your “Tested up to:” in the readme.txt for your plugin.

If all goes well according to plan then WordPress 2.9 will be out before the end of this week.
