From the blog post, the major changes in this update are:
- Stats
We’ve moved the stats section to its own page in the app which greatly improved the loading time for the blog panorama. While we were at it we fixed some bugs and improved the styling of the charts. The result is a much smoother experience for keeping up with your site’s stats. Just tap the new stats button in the actions pane to view your stats. - Post scheduling
The ability to schedule posts was a missing piece in the app. Now you can easily set a future publish date for your posts right from the app. - Comments
The comments list has been updated and now features a simple way to select multiple comments for bulk moderation. - Infinite scrolling
Your posts, pages, and comments now keep loading as you scroll down the list. No need to tap an extra button, it’s quick and easy. - Media uploading
The uploading reliability has been greatly improved. Now the app uploads your media in bite-size chunks, and automatically retries if you lose your connection. This has been tested a great deal and works well in most everyday situations.
I've been using this official client for some time now, and while I've not created a huge amount of new posts on the phone, I've been regularly using it to watch stats, moderate comments, and keep an eye on the health of my blogs while out and about. With Wordpress driving a significant percentage of the world's websites, the ability to interface with the blogging and CMS engine from your smartphone is an important piece of software.
The continuing support of Wordpress for Windows Phone, as seen with this new version, is something I am very glad to see.
