WordPress the platform, from version releases and the lesterchan.net revamps to community events.
WordPress 2.0 has finally been announced on the official site, with details about the changes. In the meantime, I've updated all eight of my plugins to be compatible with WordPress 2.0, including WP-Stats 2.00, which displays your blog statistics.
WordPress 1.5.1 has been released today. Among the changes: login and feed fixes for IIS, faster gettext internationalisation, improved i18n string coverage, extended ping support, paging on the Manage Posts page, and URI-safe accent stripping for Latin Extended-A characters.
As the title says, I've updated this site to WordPress 1.5, the smoothest upgrade I've ever been through, with no errors or major mishaps, just a few minor cosmetic bugs. Do report any errors you spot.
I've updated all my WordPress plugins to be compatible with WordPress 1.5. This site, however, still runs WordPress 1.2, which I'll upgrade once I've modified the templates; writing code is far more interesting than tweaking code.
WordPress 1.5 was released a few days back, a fairly major release compared with the jump from 1.0 to 1.2. This site still runs 1.2, and I'll upgrade once I find time to make all my many plugins 1.5-compatible.
I spent a few hours yesterday upgrading this site to WordPress 1.2, adapting all my hacks. It was fairly easy, as the API didn't change much. I love the new plugin architecture, just drop it in and activate.
A rundown of changes to my site: upgraded from b2 0.6.1 to WordPress 1.0.1, a tableless layout, pages now 99.9% HTML 4.01 Transitional, polls and the shoutbox temporarily removed, and site.php retired except for the sitemap.
