Artisteer 2.5 has been released for download and, thank goodness, is ‘focused on WordPress 3.0 compatibility’. It has taken awhile for Artisteer to release a WordPress 3 compatible version. I haven’t reviewed or tested Artisteer 2.5 but here is what Artisteer themselves have to say about the new version:

August 4, 2010

Artisteer 2.5 update focused on WordPress 3.0 compatibility is now available.

Here is a general summary of WordPress related changes, including WP 3.0 compatibility:

• Custom Menu support
• Multi-column widgetized footer area
• Additional top and bottom widget areas
• Post thumbnail / featured image support
• Settings -> General -> Date Format option now works with Artisteer themes (previously the date format was retrieved from translations)

Version 2.5 also includes fixes for minor issues reported to product support, including product stability improvements.
We are continuing to work on supporting fluid layouts and content editing for the upcoming product version.

NOTE: The Mac version is considered stable by most of our Mac users, however, we continue receiving occasional reports of crashes and performance issues, which  makes it reasonable to keep this version labeled as Release Candidate. A purchased license key can be used on either Windows or Mac.
