We’ve been working our asses off and finally have a beta to share. Download, test, and enjoy the pretty visuals. The word most people use when first seeing it is “sexy”. This is a great design, and I’m very pleased with how it has turned out. When the visuals are complete and the new icons are in, 2.7 will be a very good looking release.
Try this exercise. Load up the Write Post page in 2.6 and in 2.7. Compare the location of the title field between the two. Notice the vertical distance. That’s one of my favorite 2.7 features.

Tags: features, release, test, Wordpress, writeWP’s automatic upgrade can be used to automatically upgrade to betas and nightly builds for the development branch or the latest stable branch. To get onto a development upgrade path you must first make a small change to wp-includes/version.php.
The current release of WP is 2.8. If you peek in the version.php file, you will see this:
$wp_version = ‘2.8′;
If you would like to try out the latest development builds for the upcoming 2.8.1 release, change that line to this:
$wp_version = ‘2.8.1-dev’;
“dev” can be any string. The presence of a suffix on the version tells the automatic upgrade to put you on…
Tags: plugin, release, test, Wordpress, wp2.7.1, the first 2.7 maintenance release, is almost ready. So far, 66 tickets are fixed in 2.7.1. There are another 50 tickets open against the 2.7.1 milestone, but most of those will be moved to 2.7.2 or 2.8. If there are tickets in that list you would really like to see fixed in 2.7.1, drop a comment.
To automatically upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.1 Beta 1, change the version in your wp-includes/version.php file from 2.7 to 2.7.1-beta and then visit Tools->Upgrade. Otherwise, download the beta package and install manually.
Tags: release, Wordpress, wpFinally, at last, it’s here. And now, on to 2.8. There were several areas that we didn’t have time to re-design for 2.7. 2.8 will focus on making the media and widgets UI as good as the rest of WP. There will be a few new features as well. Theme browsing and one-click theme install is a likely one. After a short rest to recover from 2.7, we’ll start brainstorming new features and put the results on the 2.8 codex page.
We’ll likely do the usual .1 release in a month to address any bugs that slipped through the 2.7 beta…
Tags: features, release, test, testing, Wordpress, wpAs announced on the wordpress.com blog, 2.7 is coming to wordpress.com tomorrow. Actually, 2.7 has been running on wordpress.com for awhile, just not the exciting new admin UI. Here’s a peek at what the admin will look like on wordpress.com.
The final release of 2.7 won’t be here until next week. There is still a lot of coordination and management type stuff to do before we’re ready to release.
Tags: manage, release, Wordpress2.7.1 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.
Tags: features, release, test, Wordpress, wpThis weekend will go down in history. It’s the first time I’ve been seriously sick in well over 5 years. A bug infected my son on Wednesday, but he got over it quickly enough. Then the same bug hit my wife and I on Sunday morning and we’re just getting over it now.
Odd that a worm attacks software I work on and I get very sick at the same time. Unfortunately I couldn’t run an exploit scanner and remove the bug but my body’s defenses took care of the bugs eventually.
All this leads me to a handy little plugin called…

Tags: plugin, release, server, Wordpress, wpA stitch in time saves nine. I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag, but it’s true advice for bloggers as well — a little bit of work on an upgrade now saves a lot of work fixing something later.
Right now there is a worm making its way around old, unpatched versions of WordPress. This particular worm, like many before it, is clever: it registers a user, uses a security bug (fixed earlier in the year) to allow evaluated code to be executed through the permalink structure, makes itself an admin, then uses JavaScript to hide itself when you…
