A lot of new features are added to the blog:

  1. Scheduled publishing
  2. Ability to add code in the blog from the editor
  3. Syntax Highlighter to highlight the code
  4. Enhanced XML Profile Provider to delete inactive user profiles
  5. A better compose page

A few technical enhancements have been made:

  1. Usage of FckEditor as the compose tool
  2. Extensive use of AjaxControlToolkit
  3. Good reusable code in the business/data layer
  4. DIV based styling of UI

I hope the new release is much more useful than the previous one.
