WordPress and Semiologic news.

Otherwise known as WP 3.0-related plugin/theme update, round two. The theme and plugins all work with WP 3.0 as far as I've been testing — including multisite environments. Key changes:

  • When in a multisite environment, some plugin administration screens and features are only available to super admins. This is usually for security reasons — the Script Manager, for instance, requires unfiltered HTML capabilities.

Yep, it's that time of the year already: WP 3.0 is nearing release time, and many of you are looking forward to trying the new bells and whistles.

I've published a batch of theme and plugin updates, for those of you who run test sites that are powered by bleeding edge packages. (This is configurable under Settings / Semiologic API Key when Version Checker is enabled.) There probably will be a round two in a week or so.

I was a bit worried when I foresaw WP 2.9 showing up around Christmas. So much so, in fact, that Semiologic Pro users were prompted to disable core updates until WP 2.9.1. And rightly so: very nasty niggles showed up when it got released.

So… according to Matt's post, WP 2.9 should be released very shortly. I'm releasing Version Checker 2.0.2 as a result.

The latter disables core upgrade nags for non-bug fix WP releases.

Here goes with the back-end upgrade, part one.

Semiologic Cache 2.0 beta is up for grabs. Heaps of other plugins (and the two themes) got updated and are in RC status in the process.

There reportedly seems to be some kind of agreement that no release should occur 2 weeks before the official string freeze. That occurred very recently. There are still 20-30 tickets in the WP 2.9 todo list. So it's mostly nit picking at this stage.
