WordPress 2.6

Entry posted on 2008-07-15 11:24 pm

Holy moly. I’ve only juuust upgraded WordPress on my other blog, and now 2.6 is out! Well, that’s swell but their servers seem to be in a bit of a fix. Good thing I got to download 2.6 just before they went down. Lots of people must be excited, huh? (Yes, that includes me.)

Great job to the WP team for pushing out an early release!

I’m really liking three things from this release:

  1. Plugin updates! That little outdated plugin notifier as well as better plugin management page is a sure win.
  2. Post revisions! I’ve been growing more and more in love with version control systems, be it good ol’ CVS or Bazaar. To see it in WP is great. It’s set to be used often for me, that’s for sure.
  3. Word count! It’s not completely real-time (you have to stop typing and wait a while to see it update; it is set to count after a set time?) but it’s fabulous. NaNoWriMo anyone?

I’m off to continue upgrading Seasonal Plume!

Enthusiast 3.1.4 Released

Entry posted on 2008-06-01 11:11 am

I’ve been testing Enthusiast 3.1.4 on Aking Mahal for a few weeks now, and now I’ve released Enthusiast version 3.1.4, which incorporates a number of bug fixes plus a special feature — special because it gets added at a bugfix-level upgrade.

This update includes:

  • Added mass rejection of new members feature
  • Fixed bug where PEAR Mail class gets called twice when joining in certain server and/or website settings
  • Fixed bug where showing/hiding of member emails do not get updated correctly when members update their information
  • Fixed bug where there are still target attributes in links for the fanlisting statistics
  • Fixed bug where non-numerical offsets are allowed in the pagination query

I’ve been vocal about not adding a mass-rejection feature for Enthusiast, but in the interest of helping those of us whose fanlistings get spammed, and the goal to make sure Enthusiast caters to an ever wider audience due to its openness and flexibility, I’ve finally added the feature in. However, as this is just one additional feature, I decided not to bump up the version to 3.2, as it feels rather sad that way ;)

You can download the full 3.1.4 release, or get an upgrade zip file instead.

If there are problems with regards to this upgrade, please feel free to leave comments, however all regular troubleshooting requests and support-related questions should be directed to the Enthusiast support forum at CodeGrrl. Thanks!

OhNo version 2.3 is released! Thank you to those who tested out the release candidates and provided feedback. :)

To reiterate, the following are the enhancements to this release:

  • Tightened login security
  • Rebranded script to take in different kinds of troubles lists, not just fanlistings
  • Added ability to add/edit/delete troubles statuses/reasons
  • Updated look of the script
  • Fixed insert new entry bug
  • Added version number to actual layout so you can see what version you’re using

Hope you find this release helpful. :)
