WordPress 2.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch has been released in the iTunes App Store.

The first version of the WordPress app for the iPhone and iPod Touch (iTunes link) was a welcome tool for many bloggers, but it was still lacking in some ways.  Well, WordPress has now released a new version 2.0 of the application, and due to the significant differences your current app actually won’t prompt you to update. You will actually have to go and do a fresh download of it.

What are the major changes?  Here is what WordPress announced:

• A new, more efficient user interface that makes it faster to switch between comments, posts, and pages.
• Various user interface refinements and bug fixes
• New Comments interface, with Gravatars and the author URL shown in the comment list
• Passwords are now stored in the keychain
• Posts are now automatically saved and restored if network connection is lost during publishing
• Added persistence, so the app re-opens in the blog you last used
• Added an interface for manually entering the XMLRPC endpoint for non-standard setups
• Fixed rotation-related visual glitches
• Fixed errors where malformed XML prevented access to XMLRPC endpoint
• Fixed edge case where local drafts were sometimes not saved
• Fixed the order of photos so that they’re displayed in the order they’re uploaded
