WordPress 2.5 news

Commenta 24th March , 2008

WordPress weekly digest 25th February to 3rd March 2008 « westi on wordpress  Annotated

I haven’t been updating this site, despite much desire to start again, however since I use WP less and less, I tend to neglect this one.  However, I recently discovered diigo, it has a nice little post to blog (sorta scribefire built in), which I’m testing out right now.  Soon enough I’ll find out if it works as hoped, and if so, I might just start updating the site more often.  In the meantime, here are some of the recent updates to WP as 2.5 is quite belated. (More on that later).

  • Changes to do_feed() to ensure that an error page is generated when a non-existent feed format is requested (#5446).
  • Introduction of a new image_resize() function (#6005).
  • Introduction of get_temp_dir() to allow for the different locations temporary files may be stored (#5984).
  • An update to the in_category() function to support category names that are all numbers and add documentation ([7064]).
  • Change to generating random passwords for users created during import (#5837).
  • A fix to the WXR importer to ensure that tags are imported correctly by name rather than as numbers (#5330).
  • A fix to ensure that the current_page_item class is set correctly when listing pages (#2959).
  • Introduction of get_post_ancestors() and the addition of the current_page_ancestor class to ancestors of the current page when listing pages (#5662).
  • Fixes to the plugin update code to use string comparison to detect version differences (#5978).
  • Introduction of post editing collision detection (#6043).
  • Changes to switch preg_replace() calls with the e modifier to preg_replace_callback() to improve security ([7056], #5644).
  • Update to TinyMCE 3.02 (#6012).
  • More updates to the new media library (#5911).
  • Lots of updates to the new admin style.
