Just so you don’t worry too much, I am currently running the v2.6 bleeding-edge version of WordPress whilst I prod some features. This means there will almost certainly be some problems somewhere around the site (I’ve spotted a couple), but they shouldn’t be show-stopping. I’m also going to be doing regular SVN updates from the trunk so it should be as stable as any development version is going to be.
Go WordPress! Go SVN!
I’ve just updated my blogging software - WordPress - to the latest 2.5-RC1 SVN trunk version. In English, I’m playing with the latest bleeding-edge development version. Apparently it has some cool new features to try out, such as integrated media galleries:
They also seem to have fixed the amazingly irritating line-break issue in Safari, something which was beginning to get on my nerves in the most amazing way.
Anyway, this means nothing much for you if you’re reading, but you may see a couple of glitches caused by me running unfinished code, for example if you’re viewing media galleries the back and forwards buttons seem to be a bit borked. I’ll keep you up to date with anything new and amazing.
Following that brief and somewhat irritating spite of hackers, who got in through a hole in someone else’s unmaintained site (The offending user has been thoroughly rollocked), my blog is back with no loss of content despite their best efforts, all for a mere 3 minutes of my time. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you take backups.
I also took the opportunity to upgrade my slightly old codebase to the newest WordPress version, so I’ve got some new buttons to click. Nothing to worry about though. Sit back, relax, enjoy life.
