Peter Westwood puts out a weekly digest of Wordpress updates. Wordpress 2.5 is on the brink of being released, but here are a few of the highlights which I think were worth highlighting. This week’s digest has some particularly interesting updates.
- Introduction of the beginnings of a plugin update system (#5586).
- Changes to allow uploads to be stored outside of the WP path and have custom URLs ([6780]).
- Allow is_single(), is_category(), and is_tag() to accept arrays of items to test (#5593).
- Reduction of the number of SQL queries made by wp_count_posts() (#5820).
- Addition of random order option to wp_tag_cloud() (#5726).
A huge thanks goes out to the Wordpress development team. This site is proudly powered by Wordpress.
