2.7.1 is out, improving upon a solid 2.7 release.
The next version of the iPhone app is almost out and features comment moderation.
2.8 is well underway. So far there have been lots of script loading and DB performance improvements. The first cut of the theme installer is in, and the redesign of the Widgets admin UI is beginning. Custom tag taxonomies now have some built-in admin UI, and proper timezone and DST support is available if you are running PHP 5.
Thanks! I really do enjoy seeing WordPress updates like this. Makes me feel connected with what is going on. Thanks!
Can we expect WordPress version 2.7.2 before 2.8.0?
I think yes.
By the way, great job WordPress!
Nice update.
DB performance.. love it! How safe is running bleeding edge, 2.8 for now, bugs wise?
What about improvements to the media manager?
Hey Ryan, I read about the search engine improvement on wordpress.org plugins section, that’s really good, but, can I suggest something?, What about adding a search form to every plugin page?, that’s because when I’m on a plugin page I can’t search for other plugin on that page (I must go back to plugins home page).
Thanks!
For the jazz musician name for the next release, please give consideration to a great jazz musician and jazz educator, who is still living: Dave Bruebeck. Too often we honor greatness only after the person has died.
I’m so exited for 2.8 and hope it will come soon… sorry for the bad english
I can’t wait to start playing around with this release!!
Using a plugin to handle my widgets (per page) I want to do no more 😀
Eagerly waiting for 2.8?
Yes, DB performance improvements i like it so much. And widgets…
