An early look at the new widget management in WordPress 2.5
Jan 6th, 2008 @ 19:48Since WordPress 2.4 has been canceled the developers now have a lot more time on their hands to redesign the admin section in the next release, which will be WordPress 2.5.
In the latest build of WordPress you can get a look at the new widget management in WordPress 2.5, view large version.
Instead of the current widget system, where you drag the widgets from a "pool" to your sidebar, you know add the widgets using the list of gray boxes in the left hand side of the page. The widget then appears under "current widgets" where you can use drag and drop to change the order of the widgets.
This means that you, apparently, can add as many copies of a certain type of widget as you please. I'm not sure how this works on themes with multiple sidebars, however…
WordPress 2.5 is currently set for release on March 24th.
