 Replying to [ticket:6074 tellyworth]:
 > This improves the new image sizing features and implements new
 thumbnails.
 >
 > Instead of a single thumbnail, images can now have multiple intermediate
 sizes.  By default there's a Thumbnail size and a Medium size.  These are
 generated at upload time and stored in the image metadata as a new array
 element 'sizes'.  There's a hook so plugins can include additional sizes.
 >
 > The new thumbnail size is 150x150, cropped to a square.  The new design
 calls for 75x75 square thumbs; I decided on 150x150 because it's closer to
 the old size or 128x96, but can be scaled in the browser to half size
 without ugly artefacts.

 > get_attachment_thumb_url() and get_attachment_icon_src() will return the
 new thumbnail if it exists, and fall back to the old one if it does not.

 Just took a look at the latest (03/03/08) 2.5 build. This above fix
 wouldn't have affected the "Media Library" at all would it? I just
 happened to notice that now all the thumbnail images in the Image Library
 are now appearing at what looks like their original size (rather huge). In
 yesterdays build (03/02/08) the thumbnails in the "Media Library" were
 fine.
