The new feature in this release is the possibility of editing a single paragraph in a post, instead of the whole post. If you want to go back to the old behaviour, you can uncheck the new checkbox from the settings page.
Speaking of which, the settings page is now split into two dashboard-like boxes.
This version adds post meta editable fields. These are a little different from the others. To add a custom field editable meta, you have to add something like this inside The Loop in you WordPress theme:
<?php editable_post_meta($post->ID, 'my_key', 'textarea'); ?>
The first argument is the current post id, the second is the custom field key and the third is the type of field you want (input, textarea or rich).
Version 0.8 includes the jWYSIWYG editor for the content. If you don’t like it, you can disable it from the options page.
Also, the plugin is translatable now. See Localization.
This version adds a Settings page under Settings -> Front-end Editor. There you can choose which editable fields are active and which aren’t.
Also, double-clicking should work now for Internet Explorer users.
This version makes it possible to also edit tags inline. However, due to a bug* in WordPress, it won’t work on most themes. If you want this feature you will have to make the following modification to your theme:
Replace the_tags() with echo get_the_tag_list().
Some fixes for the autogrow script have also been added. Props Jean-Paul Horn.
It’s now a lot easier to add new editable fields. I will be writing a post for developers on how to add new editable fields using this plugin.

* I’ve submitted a ticket, so the bug will hopefully be fixed in WP 2.8.
Front-end Editor is a plugin that lets you edit posts or pages directly from your site. No need to load the admin backend just to correct a typo.
To edit something, just double-click it.
This is just the first version and more features are still to come. What I have in mind:
