I was just scoping out this piece on new WordPress 2.6 features and while it may only be exciting to the folks using WordPress, there was one part that jumped out at me as very cool. It was this, “WordPress 2.6 makes use of Google Gears when available to speedup and cache static files that are loaded every time you visit your WordPress admin panel.”
I was pretty excited when I found out about Gears. I downloaded all the example code and documentation immediately. There are some cool possibilities there I think, and it is just too awesome that I’m not the only one who sees that. And here we have an example where it is not only seen as a possibility but will be made a reality.
So anyway – just thought I’d share my late night excitement over blogging with gears! Coming soon to a WordPress install near you.
