We have recently upgraded the OM4 platform to include the latest WordPress (2.9 and 2.9.1) features.
There are quite a few improvements, including:
- Undo/trash feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash).
- Built-in image editor, which allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images.
- Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv.
- Improved visual editor
- Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one.
- and many more
The full list of over 500 new features, changes upgrades and improvements can be found here.
We hope these performance improvements make administering your website a much more enjoyable task.

I have seen the notice to upgrade a for a while now and I am afraid that if I do the system I am used to working with will either break or rearrange stuff to where I have to accommodate for a learning curve.
I get very nervous about upgrading anything and particularly my companies website. or at least hold off on upgrading when I know I have a decent chunk of time set aside to be able to trouble shoot, or fix any problems that may occur…
Some of these new features do seem like it would be worth upgrading for…
