Wordpress 2.5 Demo Site
The next release of Wordpress which is eagerly waited by one and all is the Wordpress 2.5. Wordpress has skipped the release of 2.4 and instead incorporated all the new features in 2.5. There were already screenshots of the new dashboard with improved features and looks. Chris Johnston has announced the availability of a public WordPress 2.5 Demo Site which will have all the features of Wordpress 2.5 till its released to public. This way bloggers can check out the latest features coming up for 2.5.
Here are the screenshots of the new version;

One change which I could feel is that all the fonts are made bigger and the widgets on the right hand side is brought below the post editor. Overall the looks are just average and nothing much to hype about. But lets wait and see the final version.
If you want to check out Wordpress 2.5 features and looks, log into demo site.
Share & Enjoy

I will say that the average look is below average. As far as I feel, the whole design look a bit messed up without even a single feel that its an admin panel. everything looks so cluttered

You are right not anything special to look but least some better restructuring of the tabs. We will see when it is released.

Nirmal, I checked it out the other day and I liked it. Even though the changes seem to be cosmetic, I am sure there are major improvements under the hood. I can see that they have changed the Admin interface to be friendly to the not-so-geeky crowd as well.

@K-IntheHouse,
You are right, the actual changes may not be the cosmetic ones.

@Kanak,
Lets wait for the final version. May be they will do some improvements after feedback from users.

At least in the first sight, I did not like the admin panel.
May be it is more usable. Lets wait and see.
