Here are over 10 reasons why you should probably upgrade to Wordpress 2.6

1. More Secure

   Wordpress Administration now has an SSL support. That means if you have a security certificate installed you can access wordpress admin via both regular http protocol and via more probably the safest protocol https too.

2. Wordpress Auto Update

   Yes from now on you don’t need to worry about upgrading your wordpress each time a new update is released or install a plugin to do this. Yes the automatic plugin that upgrades wordpress automatically is now already installed inside the wodpress core. This relieves a lot of people from boring upgrades

3. Plugin Auto Install

   This is probably the best feature that I like in wordpress 2.6. in wordpress 2.5 you had the feature of auto updating plugins but now in version 2.6 you can install plugins directly from wordpress.org via RSS Feeds.

4. Theme Preview

   Now you don’t need to add a plugin to preview theme before applying, this feature is also incorporated in the 2.6 release. However the preview is limited to Administrator only.

5. Theme Paging

   Another new feature in aspect of themes is that for those having more than 15 themes uploaded in their themes folder will now have a paging styled themes.php page. It will show 15 themes per page. this should be good for Wordpress MU users who have a large collection of themes uploaded on their server

6. wp-config.php Now movable

   Now you can move your wp-config.php to any directory limited to 1 directory below the root folder which now makes you possible to install multiple wordpress blogs with single wp-config.php file

7. Identicons

   Now you are going to have the ability to choose your default Gravatar if you don’t own any yet.

8. Post Revisions

   A powerful new wiki style post management feature in your wordpress to revise you posts

9. Post Word Count

   A wordpress.com feature that will now be embedded into word count tooll directly into the TinyMCE

10. Support to Google Gears

    Integrated into wordpress core, now you will have support to Google Gears. Now Google Gears users will be able to experience faster administration and will be able to manage their blogs will offline
