I haven’t had a chance to go through WordPress 2.9 and figure out all the improvements just yet, but I am excited to do so. A few items they have been boasting about are a global undo/”trash” feature, a built-in image editor, a batch plugin update/compatibility checking and easier video embeds.

Here is a little video from WordPress.org that goes through a bunch of the new features in 2.9.
