A whole bunch of Semiologic Pro plugins, and the theme, need a last round of testing before I release updates.
Key changes since early January, on the top of my head:

So… if you've been following the Semiologic blog in the past weeks, you've probably skipped WP 2.9. It's now time to jump into the pool and upgrade your site to WP 2.9.1.

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.

As many of you already know, WP 2.9 has been released over the WE, and… oh bummer:
- One major bug was simply dismissed;
- A related critical bug was only partially fixed;

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. Experience has shown, in past years, that major WP releases need about an extra month of testing in the wild to be really stable. You can still upgrade, when WP 2.9 gets released, under Tools / Upgrade. But WP won't nag you into doing so.

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.

So… here we go again. After the ugly php 5.2 output buffer crashes, we now have the php 5.3 logic bugs:
$foo = 0;
var_dump('foo' == $foo); // true
var_dump($foo == 'foo'); // true
var_dump('foo' === $foo); // false
var_dump($foo === 'foo'); // false
If your scripts are returning completely unexplainable results on php 5.3 platforms, that's one possibility to keep in mind. I initially found it while looking into memcached-related problems.

Semiologic Pro users with an up to date site will not be seeing it in their dashboard, since I've been modifying the way that upgrades are handled in recent months. But 6.0 has finally been released — fully 10 months after 5.7.1.

I've released Version Checker 2.0 this morning.
This is a huge milestone for Semologic Pro users. Many thanks to all those of you who took the time to test it — in particular during the last round, when I've been fine-tuning the installer.
