There are a couple of new downloads you should be made aware of:

WordPress 2.5

You can read all about the ton of updates that were made here. You can also download the new version here.

I haven’t upgraded any of my blogs, but I played around with a local version…it seems nice. I should be upgrading to 2.5 when this sites new redesign launches.

Magento 1.0

After a long wait, Magento has released their first stable 1.0 version of their eCommerce software. You can download that here.

I’m playing around with this locally, and there is a fairly steep learning curve. I’m still going through all of the features and trying to learn how to make it do what I want. I’m hoping Magento releases an official startup guide that goes through each feature and provide tutorials to do certain things. I think it would be nice if they essentially made a guide that teaches you how to go from a blank store, to one with all the demo data. There’s so much I want to do with Magento, so I’m hoping to learn quick.
