WordPress 3.3

WordPress 3.3 has been released! I have upgraded this site to WordPress 3.3. My plugins should be working fine with WordPress 3.3.

For Users
Experienced users will appreciate the new drag-and-drop uploader, hover menus for the navigation, the new toolbar, improved co-editing support, and the new Tumblr importer. We’ve also been thinking a ton about what the WordPress experience is like for people completely new to the software. Version 3.3 has significant improvements there with pointer tips for new features included in each update, a friendly welcome message for first-time users, and revamped help tabs throughout the interface. Finally we’ve improved the dashboard experience on the iPad and other tablets with better touch support.

For Developers
There is a ton of candy for developers as well. I’d recommend starting your exploration with the new editor API, new jQuery version, better ways to hook into the help screens, more performant post-slug-only permalinks, and of course the entire list of improvements on the Codex and in Trac.

WP-PostRatings 1.61

I have released WP-PostRatings 1.61 which fixes a code injection via “HTTP Referrer” and affects users who are on WP-PostRatings 1.50 only. This is the same code injection fixed for WP-Polls few days back.

I have checked the rest of my plugins to ensure that the code is not in anymore of my plugins. Sorry for any inconvenienced cased.

Similar to WP-Polls, I also took this chance to port the readme.html to the proper readme.txt which WordPress.org is using and now you can see all the details of WP-PostRatings right from the plugins page itself regardless if it is from your WP-Admin or WordPress.org.

All users should upgrade now

Props to Dion Hulse aka dd32 for the report!

Sorting WP-PostRatings/WP-PostViews

I have finally took the time to create this little feature that enables you to sort posts by most viewed, most rated and highest rated.

It will only works if you are using nice permalinks. Feedback are welcomed =)

Localization And AJAX Updates

Localization
I have localize WP-Stats and WP-UserOnline in addition to WP-Polls. If any one of you willing are to test it for me, the downloads links are as follows:
» WP-Stats 2.06 Localized Version
» WP-UserOnline 2.06 Localized Version

If you do test it, please feedback to me if there are any text not translated properly or can be improved. Thanks alot.

Example of WP-UserOnline: You need to create a new .po based on the .pot then after translating you need to save as for example: wp-useronline-de_DE.po where de_DE is your language. The poedit (I assume you are using poedit) will generate a file called wp-useronline-de_DE.mo.

Note: make sure that both files are in wp-content/plugins/useronline

AJAX
WP-Polls and WP-UserOnline now processes AJAX in their own file like polls.php and useronline.php instead of index.php. I think in this way it will be faster and it will have lesser conflicts with other plugins. I have also removed the Javascript variable site_url in them because it is not used.

WordPress 3.0 Beta 2

WordPress 3.0 Beta 2 has been released and it seems WordPress 3.0 has miss the initial release date of 1st May 2010, which I think is good. They should not rush to meet the release date as it should be release when it is done. I am guessing they will head to RC1 in the next release.

Things to test:

  • Revised menu user interface
  • Changes to the WordPress exporter and importer to make it more flexible
