Here’s a list of features that WordPress is offering:

• Press This! : Now post from anywhere on the web
• Word Count: This was due for release for long, now you don’t have to count the words at all, let WordPress do this for you
• Automatic Plugin update Notification
• Full SSL support in the core and the ability to force SSL for better security
• Shift Gears : In this release, WordPress uses a “Local Server” to cache and keep a copy of commonly-used JavaScript and CSS files on your computer which can increase the page loading speed
• Now you can toggle between the Flash uploader and the classic one.
• A completely revamped image control to allow for easier inserting, floating, and resizing. It’s now fully integrated with the WYSIWYG.
• Post Revisions: Wiki-like tracking of edits which helps collaborative blogs with multiple writers
• Google Gears Support: Probably the most interesting feature yet is the Google Gears Support for WordPress 2.6. This will enable users to write posts even in offline mode.
