Now that 2.9 is out and it&#8217;s time to start thinking about 3.0, we think it would be appropriate to stop and take a breath before diving in, and make a plan in advance. What winds up happening is that during each release cycle a few new features are selected for inclusion, but then right up until feature freeze (and/or beta cycle), people keep adding feature requests, patches for enhancements, and ongoing bug reports. This means each release winds up getting pushed out later than planned, and with so many things going in per release, it becomes harder to catch new bugs.</p>\n<p>The as-long-as-we&#8217;re-not-in-freeze-yet model isn&#8217;t working. People wind up waiting months longer for new features they want, like Trash and Image Editing, because we&#8217;re still adding other things and then we need to test them all. If we kept the releases smaller feature-wise, we could push out the new stuff sooner (3 releases per year is the goal) and have more focused beta testing, making the releases themselves better. It&#8217;s hard, because everyone has their pet features and fixes, and if there&#8217;s a patch, why not get it in this release rather than waiting? Sometimes people complain that a patch has been waiting to be committed for weeks or months, but what no one ever seems to bring up is that sometimes patches introduce new bugs, and the more we add at once, the harder it is to keep it all well-tested on various platforms, in different hosting environments, etc. So. What&#8217;s our proposal?</p>\n<p>We take a page from the world of project management and we make a project plan <strong>before</strong> we jump into the dev cycle. We let everyone propose features and enhancements, and we choose a limited number to include in 3.0 (in this case we need to be especially stringent, because the merge of WordPress and WordPress MU will automatically mean a lot of work) and set a realistic release date that we stick to. We create a tentative set of features for the next two releases, to be re-evaluated at the beginning of the next cycle, so that people know the community is committed to certain features, as opposed to the vague &#8220;future release&#8221; label we now use for everything not included in the current version. We fix bugs that are reproducible and affect a large number of users before focusing on edge case bugs or bugs that haven&#8217;t been well-described or reproduced. We stop diverting our attention from agreed-upon goals when a &#8220;squeaky wheel&#8221; decides we should all be focused on something else. There are always things that pop up unexpectedly, but we need to do a better job of restraining ourselves when it comes to trying to sneak things into the current release (I include myself in this, of course&#8230;as a UX person I always wish we could do everything all at once!).</p>\n<p>As an open source project, we accomplish more when we work together than we do following individual agendas, and we need to keep our project focused on commonly-agreed-upon goals instead of following tangents whenever a community member starts to take us on one, regardless of whether it&#8217;s to follow a cool idea that everyone loves or a suggestion based on a personal agenda, and regardless of whether it&#8217;s a newbie who doesn&#8217;t know any better or a frequent contributor or committer who has a strong opinion and a loud voice (so to speak). The issue here is that it&#8217;s easy to get distracted, so we need to create a structure that will help us keep moving forward instead of getting sidetracked.

When we re-start the weekly IRC dev chats in 2010, the first meeting will be to talk about the scope of 3.0. When we&#8217;ve got a general agreement about what will be included, we&#8217;ll create the appropriate Trac tickets, and punt tickets for non-3.0 feature requests/enhancements to a future release so we can stay focused. New bug reports will still come in to the current milestone. It&#8217;s going to be hard.

You can upgrade easily from your Dashboard by going to <strong>Tools</strong> &gt; <strong>Upgrade</strong>, or you can <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">download from WordPress.org</a>. And of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a major release without a short video summarizing some of the cool things about the new version:<br />\n<embed src=\"http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.11\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"guid=NBZ853Xn&amp;width=640&amp;height=360\" title=\"Introducing WordPress 2.9 Carmen\"></embed></p>\n<p>The coolest new stuff from a user point of view is:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Global undo/&#8221;trash&#8221; feature</strong>, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying &#8220;are you sure&#8221; messages we used to have on every delete.</li>\n<li><strong>Built-in image editor</strong> allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who&#8217;s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.</li>\n<li><strong>Batch plugin update and compatibility checking,</strong> which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we&#8217;re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds\"><strong>Easier video embeds</strong></a> that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).</li>\n</ol>\n<p>2.9 provides the smoothest ride yet because of a number of improvements under the hood and more subtle improvements you&#8217;ll begin to appreciate once you&#8217;ve been around the block a few times. Here&#8217;s just a sampling:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>We now have <code>rel=canonical</code> support for better SEO.</li>\n<li>There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file by adding <code>define(\'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR\', true);</code>.</li>\n<li>Themes can register &#8220;post thumbnails&#8221; which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.</li>\n<li>A new <code>commentmeta</code> table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework.</li>\n<li>Custom post types have been upgraded with better API support so you can juggle more types than just post, page, and attachment. (More of this planned for 3.0.)</li>\n<li>You can set custom theme directories, so a plugin can register a theme to be bundled with it or you can have multiple shared theme directories on your server.</li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie.</li>\n<li>Sidebars can now have descriptions so it&#8217;s more obvious what and where they do what they do.</li>\n<li>Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories &#8212; like post types!</li>\n<li>Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user&#8217;s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.</li>\n<li>The XML-RPC API has been extended to allow changing the user registration option. We fixed some Atom API attachment issues.</li>\n<li>Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one.</li>\n<li>When you&#8217;re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save. (Thank goodness!!!)</li>\n<li>The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet.</li>\n<li>Custom taxonomies are now included in the WXR export file and imported correctly.</li>\n<li>Better hooks and filters for excerpts, smilies, HTTP requests, user profiles, author links, taxonomies, SSL support, tag clouds, query_posts and WP_Query</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All of this and more is reflected in the <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&amp;milestone=2.9\">over 500

I&#8217;m here on behalf of the entire WordPress development team and community to announce the immediate availability of <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">WordPress version 2.9 &#8220;Carmen&#8221;</a> named in honor of magical jazz vocalist <a href=\"http://www.carmenmcrae.com/\">Carmen McRae</a> (whom we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http://www.last.fm/tag/wordpress-release-jazz\">added to our Last.fm WP release station</a>). You can upgrade easily from your Dashboard by going to <strong>Tools</strong> &gt; <strong>Upgrade</strong>, or you can <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">download from WordPress.org</a>. And of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a major release without a short video summarizing some of the cool things about the new version:<br />\n<embed src=\"http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.11\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"guid=NBZ853Xn&amp;width=640&amp;height=360\" title=\"Introducing WordPress 2.9 Carmen\"></embed></p>\n<p>The coolest new stuff from a user point of view is:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Global undo/&#8221;trash&#8221; feature</strong>, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying &#8220;are you sure&#8221; messages we used to have on every delete.</li>\n<li><strong>Built-in image editor</strong> allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who&#8217;s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.</li>\n<li><strong>Batch plugin update and compatibility checking,</strong> which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we&#8217;re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds\"><strong>Easier video embeds</strong></a> that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).</li>\n</ol>\n<p>2.9 provides the smoothest ride yet because of a number of improvements under the hood and more subtle improvements you&#8217;ll begin to appreciate once you&#8217;ve been around the block a few times. Here&#8217;s just a sampling:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>We now have <code>rel=canonical</code> support for better SEO.</li>\n<li>There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file by adding <code>define(\'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR\', true);</code>.</li>\n<li>Themes can register &#8220;post thumbnails&#8221; which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.</li>\n<li>A new <code>commentmeta</code> table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework.</li>\n<li>Custom post types have been upgraded with better API support so you can juggle more types than just post, page, and attachment. (More of this planned for 3.0.)</li>\n<li>You can set custom theme directories, so a plugin can register a theme to be bundled with it or you can have multiple shared theme directories on your server.</li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie.</li>\n<li>Sidebars can now have descriptions so it&#8217;s more obvious what and where they do what they do.</li>\n<li>Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories &#8212; like post types!</li>\n<li>Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user&#8217;s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.</li>\n<li>The XML-RPC API has been extended to allow changing the user registration option. We fixed some Atom API attachment issues.</li>\n<li>Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one.</li>\n<li>When you&#8217;re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save. (Thank goodness!!!)</li>\n<li>The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet.</li>\n<li>Custom taxonomies are now included in the WXR export file and imported correctly.</li>\n<li>Better hooks and filters for excerpts, smilies, HTTP requests, user profiles, author links, taxonomies, SSL support, tag clouds, query_posts and WP_Query</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All of this and more is reflected in the <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&amp;milestone=2.9\">over 500 tickets, bugs, and enhancements that WP developers in this release cycle</a>.</p>\n<p>This release included code from over 140 contributors, here&#8217;s everyone we were able to identify: <a

Well, that&#8217;s one of the many things the core commit team has been talking about over the past few days, and everyone agrees that we need to prioritize this aspect of the project sooner rather than later. So, here&#8217;s a super high-level description of how we&#8217;re currently thinking about canonical plugins, which we&#8217;d like to use to initiate some focused community discussion on the topic.</p>\n<p>Canonical plugins would be plugins that are community developed (multiple developers, not just one person) and address the most popular functionality requests with superlative execution. These plugins would be GPL and live in the WordPress.org repo, and would be developed in close connection with WordPress core. There would be a very strong relationship between core and these plugins that ensured that a) the plugin code would be secure and the best possible example of coding standards, and b) that new versions of WordPress would be tested against these plugins prior to release to ensure compatibility. There would be a screen within the Plugins section of the WordPress admin to feature these canonical plugins as a kind of Editor&#8217;s Choice or Verified guarantee. These plugins would be a true extension of core WordPress in terms of compatibility, security and support.</p>\n<p>In order to have a system like this, each canonical plugin&#8217;s development community would probably need similar infrastructure to WordPress itself, including things like Trac, mailing lists, support forums, etc. These things will be worked out within the development community over the coming months, but in the meantime, we really need a better name for this. Many people have no idea what canon/canonical means (clearly, they are not Dr. Who fans!), and having to define the word distracts from discussing the core ideas behind the concept. So, we thought we&#8217;d do a community poll to see what people think we should call canonical plugins. We brainstormed a few dozen ideas yesterday and whittled it down to our top handful. Based on the definition of canonical plugins given above, which of these terms do you think best describes them?

Well, that&#8217;s one of the many things the core commit team has been talking about over the past few days, and everyone agrees that we need to prioritize this aspect of the project sooner rather than later. So, here&#8217;s a super high-level description of how we&#8217;re currently thinking about canonical plugins, which we&#8217;d like to use to initiate some focused community discussion on the topic.</p>\n<p>Canonical plugins would be plugins that are community developed (multiple developers, not just one person) and address the most popular functionality requests with superlative execution. These plugins would be GPL and live in the WordPress.org repo, and would be developed in close connection with WordPress core. There would be a very strong relationship between core and these plugins that ensured that a) the plugin code would be secure and the best possible example of coding standards, and b) that new versions of WordPress would be tested against these plugins prior to release to ensure compatibility. There would be a screen within the Plugins section of the WordPress admin to feature these canonical plugins as a kind of Editor&#8217;s Choice or Verified guarantee. These plugins would be a true extension of core WordPress in terms of compatibility, security and support.</p>\n<p>In order to have a system like this, each canonical plugin&#8217;s development community would probably need similar infrastructure to WordPress itself, including things like Trac, mailing lists, support forums, etc. These things will be worked out within the development community over the coming months, but in the meantime, we really need a better name for this. Many people have no idea what canon/canonical means (clearly, they are not Dr. Who fans!), and having to define the word distracts from discussing the core ideas behind the concept. So, we thought we&#8217;d do a community poll to see what people think we should call canonical plugins. We brainstormed a few dozen ideas yesterday and whittled it down to our top handful. Based on the definition of canonical plugins given above, which of these terms do you think best describes them? I&#8217;m including a short description of our thoughts on each.<br />\n<blockquote><strong>Standard </strong>- Implies that these are the standard by which all other plugins should be judged, as well as the idea of them being the default plugins.<br />\n<strong>Core </strong>- Makes the close relationship to core WordPress development very clear, and has the implication of bundled plugins (even though we don&#8217;t need to actually bundle them now that the installer is right in the admin tool).<br />\n<strong>Premium</strong> &#8211; Identifies these officially-supported plugins as best-in-class and of the highest value, and could potentially disambiguate the word Premium as it is currently being used in the community (to refer to anything from commercial support to licensing terms to actual code quality).<br />\n<strong>Validated </strong>- Focuses on the fact that the code is reviewed for compatibility with core and for security.<br />\n<strong>Official</strong> &#8211; Makes it plain that these are the plugins officially endorsed by the core team as being the best at their functions.<br />\n<strong>Canonical</strong> &#8211; Maybe once people get used to it, canonical wouldn&#8217;t confuse so many people?\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>Cast your vote in the poll below to have your opinion considered during the decision-making process.

I&#8217;ve had a few reports that this version also has problems with stripping brackets.</p>\n<p>For those that haven&#8217;t been following this problem here&#8217;s the <a href=\"http://josephscott.org/code/wordpress/plugin-libxml2-fix/\">short version of the story</a>.  Some combinations of libxml and PHP don&#8217;t play nice with each other, the result being that brackets get stripped out of XML content.

Some combinations of libxml and PHP don&#8217;t play nice with each other, the result being that brackets get stripped out of XML content.

One of the things that was discussed at the core commit team meetup was release scope (and scope creep). Now that 2.9 is out and it&#8217;s time to start thinking about 3.0, we think it would be appropriate to stop and take a breath before diving in, and make a plan in advance. What winds up happening is that during each release cycle a few new features are selected for inclusion, but then right up until feature freeze (and/or beta cycle), people keep adding feature requests, patches for enhancements, and ongoing bug reports. This means each release winds up getting pushed out later than planned, and with so many things going in per release, it becomes harder to catch new bugs.</p>\n<p>The as-long-as-we&#8217;re-not-in-freeze-yet model isn&#8217;t working. People wind up waiting months longer for new features they want, like Trash and Image Editing, because we&#8217;re still adding other things and then we need to test them all. If we kept the releases smaller feature-wise, we could push out the new stuff sooner (3 releases per year is the goal) and have more focused beta testing, making the releases themselves better. It&#8217;s hard, because everyone has their pet features and fixes, and if there&#8217;s a patch, why not get it in this release rather than waiting? Sometimes people complain that a patch has been waiting to be committed for weeks or months, but what no one ever seems to bring up is that sometimes patches introduce new bugs, and the more we add at once, the harder it is to keep it all well-tested on various platforms, in different hosting environments, etc. So. What&#8217;s our proposal?</p>\n<p>We take a page from the world of project management and we make a project plan <strong>before</strong> we jump into the dev cycle. We let everyone propose features and enhancements, and we choose a limited number to include in 3.0 (in this case we need to be especially stringent, because the merge of WordPress and WordPress MU will automatically mean a lot of work) and set a realistic release date that we stick to. We create a tentative set of features for the next two releases, to be re-evaluated at the beginning of the next cycle, so that people know the community is committed to certain features, as opposed to the vague &#8220;future release&#8221; label we now use for everything not included in the current version. We fix bugs that are reproducible and affect a large number of users before focusing on edge case bugs or bugs that haven&#8217;t been well-described or reproduced. We stop diverting our attention from agreed-upon goals when a &#8220;squeaky wheel&#8221; decides we should all be focused on something else. There are always things that pop up unexpectedly, but we need to do a better job of restraining ourselves when it comes to trying to sneak things into the current release (I include myself in this, of course&#8230;as a UX person I always wish we could do everything all at once!).</p>\n<p>As an open source project, we accomplish more when we work together than we do following individual agendas, and we need to keep our project focused on commonly-agreed-upon goals instead of following tangents whenever a community member starts to take us on one, regardless of whether it&#8217;s to follow a cool idea that everyone loves or a suggestion based on a personal agenda, and regardless of whether it&#8217;s a newbie who doesn&#8217;t know any better or a frequent contributor or committer who has a strong opinion and a loud voice (so to speak). The issue here is that it&#8217;s easy to get distracted, so we need to create a structure that will help us keep moving forward instead of getting sidetracked.

One of the things that was discussed at the core commit team meetup was release scope (and scope creep). Now that 2.9 is out and it&#8217;s time to start thinking about 3.0, we think it would be appropriate to stop and take a breath before diving in, and make a plan in advance. What winds up happening is that during each release cycle a few new features are selected for inclusion, but then right up until feature freeze (and/or beta cycle), people keep adding feature requests, patches for enhancements, and ongoing bug reports. This means each release winds up getting pushed out later than planned, and with so many things going in per release, it becomes harder to catch new bugs.</p>\n<p>The as-long-as-we&#8217;re-not-in-freeze-yet model isn&#8217;t working.

In most cases, the free plugin becomes dormant and I&#8217;m forced to either stick with what works until a version of WordPress is released which breaks the plugin or I pony up the cash to receive upgrades.

WordPress was one of the things people would pay for if it had a price tag. My question is slightly different. What if every plugin you use on your site requires you to pay money before you get access to upgrades, support, etc?

There has been a lot of focus on making the activity stream far more interactive in 1.2, and to do this we have merged together some of the features in previous versions of BuddyPress.

It might just be on the front page. It might be alone, or alongside an excerpt. Until now, there was no standardized way to do this. Many themes would require you to tediously enter a Custom Field with the value being the URL you wanted to use. Often you had to do cropping yourself. With WordPress 2.9, theme authors can easily enable Post Thumbnail selection UI and call those image using simple template tags.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://markjaquith.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/post-thumbnail.png?w=297&#038;h=138\" alt=\"\" title=\"post-thumbnail\" width=\"297\" height=\"138\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-392\" /></p>\n<p>First, in the theme&#8217;s <code>functions.php</code>, declare that your theme supports this feature. This will enable the UI in the WP Admin.</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">add_theme_support( \'post-thumbnails\' );</pre>\n<p>That will enable Post Thumbnail UI for both Post and Page content types. If you&#8217;d only like to add it to one, you can do it like this:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">add_theme_support( \'post-thumbnails\', array( \'post\' ) ); // Add it for posts\nadd_theme_support( \'post-thumbnails\', array( \'page\' ) ); // Add it for pages</pre>\n<p>Simply remove the one you don&#8217;t want to support.</p>\n<p>Next, you should specify the dimensions of your post thumbnails. You have two options here: box-resizing and hard-cropping. Box resizing shrinks an image proportionally (that is, without distorting it), until it fits inside the &#8220;box&#8221; you&#8217;ve specified with your width and height parameters. For example, a 100&#215;50 image in a 50&#215;50 box would be resized to 50&#215;25. The benefit here is that the entire image shows. The downside is that the image produced isn&#8217;t always the same size. Sometimes it will be width-limited, and sometimes it will be height-limited. If you&#8217;d like to limit images to a certain width, but don&#8217;t care how tall they are, you can specify your width and then specify a height of 9999 or something ridiculously large that will never be hit.</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50 ); // 50 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall, box resize mode</pre>\n<p>Your second option is hard-cropping. In this mode, the image is cropped to match the target aspect ratio, and is then shrunk to fit in the specified dimensions <strong>exactly</strong>. The benefit is that you get what you ask for. If you ask for a 50&#215;50 thumbnail, you get a 50&#215;50 thumbnail. The downside is that your image will be cropped (either from the sides, or from the top and bottom) to fit the target aspect ratio, and that part of the image won&#8217;t show up in the thumbnail.</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true ); // 50 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall, hard crop mode</pre>\n<p>Now, you can make use of the template functions to display these images in the theme. These functions should be used in the loop.</p>\n<p><code>has_post_thumbnail()</code> returns true/false and indicates whether the current post has a manually-chosen Post Thumbnail (in the loop):</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">&lt;?php\nif ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {\n	// the current post has a thumbnail\n} else {\n	// the current post lacks a thumbnail\n}\n?&gt;</pre>\n<p><code>the_post_thumbnail()</code> outputs the Post Thumbnail, if it exists (in the loop):</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?&gt;</pre>\n<p>Those are the basics. How about some advanced stuff?</p>\n<p>What if you want to use a small 50&#215;50 hard-cropped image for the home page, but want to use a 400 pixel-wide (unlimited height) image on the post&#8217;s permalink page? You&#8217;re in luck. You can specify additional custom sizes! Here&#8217;s the code:</p>\n<p><code>functions.php</code></p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">add_theme_support( \'post-thumbnails\' );\nset_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true ); // Normal post thumbnails\nadd_image_size( \'single-post-thumbnail\', 400, 9999 ); // Permalink thumbnail size</pre>\n<p><code>home.php</code> or <code>index.php</code>, depending on your theme structure (in the loop):</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?&gt;</pre>\n<p><code>single.php</code> (in the loop):</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail( \'single-post-thumbnail\' ); ?&gt;</pre>\n<p>That&#8217;s it! <code>set_post_thumbnail_size()</code> just calls <code>add_image_size( \'post-thumbnail\' )</code> &#8212; the default Post Thumbnail &#8220;handle.&#8221; But as you can see, you can add additional ones by calling <code>add_image_size( $handle, $width, $height, {$hard_crop_switch} );</code>, and then you use that new size by passing the handle to <code>the_post_thumbnail( $handle );</code></p>\n<p>If you want your theme to support earlier versions of WordPress, you&#8217;ll have to use <code>function_exists()</code> to keep from calling these new functions in those versions. I&#8217;ve omitted that code to keep these examples as simple as possible. Here would be the <code>functions.php</code> example with the wrapper code:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">if ( function_exists( \'add_theme_support\' ) ) { // Added in 2.9\n	add_theme_support( \'post-thumbnails\' );\n	set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true ); // Normal post thumbnails\n	add_image_size( \'single-post-thumbnail\', 400, 9999 ); // Permalink thumbnail size\n}</pre>\n<p>There is one caveat for this feature in WordPress 2.9 &#8212; it only works <strong>fully</strong> for new image uploads. We can&#8217;t yet resize images on the fly, although I&#8217;m strongly considering it for a future version. If you call the template functions on a post that has a Post Thumbnail that was uploaded prior to your theme having declared the new sizes, you won&#8217;t be able to do hard-cropping, and the box-resize will be done in the browser.

Yesterday, I was notified that 2.9.1 is most likely around the corner due to <a href=\"http://www.semiologic.com/2009/12/21/wp-2-9-three-bugs-and-how-to-fix-them/\">some issues</a> that arose because of a last-minute addition to the core of WordPress. The issues revolve around scheduled posts not firing because the cron scheduler ends up broken. The patch can be found <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/11505/ticket-11505-full.patch\">here</a> which is already a part of 2.9.1.</p>\n<p>While <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/topic/343080\">reading the support thread</a>, I became concerned with some of the responses that were published. For example, &#8220;<em>How could you release an upgrade that is obviously this problem-filled?</em>&#8221; or &#8220;<em>WordPress should have tested 2.9 before releasing it!</em>&#8220;. I&#8217;m not sure how many times this has to be preached to the choir but each version of WordPress is tested before it&#8217;s release to the public. That is what the Beta releases are for as well as the Release Candidates. WordPress 2.9 went through one release candidate version and two beta releases. In fact, before RC1 hit the public, all of the tickets assigned for that version were closed. Each version was tested by anyone who volunteered. There seems to be this notion that there are thousands of WordPress developers and they should iron out every bug before releasing software to the public. While there are hundreds of WordPress developers submitting patches here and there as well as squashing bugs, not every hosting setup can be tested. This is where the end users come in.</p>\n<p>Dion Hulse who has been a long time contributor to the WordPress project illustrates this problem quite well in a blog post entitled <a href=\"http://dd32.id.au/2009/12/21/a-call-to-arms/\">WordPress, A Call To Arms</a>. I think Dion says it best in the first paragraph which illustrates the lack of testing problem quite well.</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress 2.9 was just released, And several users have run into a bug. Surprising? Not really. There&#8217;s one simple reason for this, While thousands of people Test each and every WordPress release, These users are not <strong>You</strong>.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While hundreds or thousands download the betas to perform testing, the real crux of the testing comes when the &#8220;<strong>Stable</strong>&#8221; release is shipped. The stable version is installed by everyone because it&#8217;s considered to be stable only since you now have hundreds of thousands of blogs running the software which translates into more testing environments, you&#8217;re going to run into bugs the testers simply didn&#8217;t find. This gives the perception that the Stable release was not stable at all and therefor, should have never been released. But, if the software were never released, the bug would most likely would not have been found.</p>\n<h2>Please Help Out:</h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s very easy to setup a test installation of WordPress, especially since the release of Peter Westwoods plugin called <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/\">Beta Tester</a>. While testing on a local server is a good idea, most local servers are not setup to mimic the configuration of the public web server. This is why it&#8217;s actually better to test on the same setup as your public facing site than on a local server.</p>\n<p>Now, if you happen to come across something you believe to be a bug, please refer to <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs\">this article</a> in the Codex which contains instructions on how to report it.</p>\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:11:09 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";}s:7:\"summary\";s:3697:\"<p>WordPress 2.9 was released last weekend.

This is where the end users come in.</p>\n<p>Dion Hulse who has been a long time contributor to the WordPress project illustrates this problem quite well in a blog post entitled <a href=\"http://dd32.id.au/2009/12/21/a-call-to-arms/\">WordPress, A Call To Arms</a>. I think Dion says it best in the first paragraph which illustrates the lack of testing problem quite well.</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress 2.9 was just released, And several users have run into a bug. Surprising? Not really. There&#8217;s one simple reason for this, While thousands of people Test each and every WordPress release, These users are not <strong>You</strong>.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While hundreds or thousands download the betas to perform testing, the real crux of the testing comes when the &#8220;<strong>Stable</strong>&#8221; release is shipped. The stable version is installed by everyone because it&#8217;s considered to be stable only since you now have hundreds of thousands of blogs running the software which translates into more testing environments, you&#8217;re going to run into bugs the testers simply didn&#8217;t find. This gives the perception that the Stable release was not stable at all and therefor, should have never been released. But, if the software were never released, the bug would most likely would not have been found.</p>\n<h2>Please Help Out:</h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s very easy to setup a test installation of WordPress, especially since the release of Peter Westwoods plugin called <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/\">Beta Tester</a>. While testing on a local server is a good idea, most local servers are not setup to mimic the configuration of the public web server. This is why it&#8217;s actually better to test on the same setup as your public facing site than on a local server.</p>\n<p>Now, if you happen to come across something you believe to be a bug, please refer to <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs\">this article</a> in the Codex which contains instructions on how to report it.</p>\";}i:23;a:7:{s:5:\"title\";s:60:\"Weblog Tools Collection: WordPress Plugin Releases for 12/22\";s:4:\"guid\";s:40:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=7402\";s:4:\"link\";s:90:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/12/22/wordpress-plugin-releases-for-1222-2/\";s:11:\"description\";s:2893:\"<h3>New Plugins</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://hdlns.com/hdlns_today_plugin.php\">HDLNS Today</a></p>\n<p>insert one of over 1200 categorized RSS feeds, using the (latest) post date on the page to keep the rss headlined contextually relevant to the blog post</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.q2w3.ru/2009/12/06/824/\">Q2W3 Inc Manager</a></p>\n<p>This plugin was made to easily add html, css, javascript and PHP code to public WordPress pages.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.q2w3.ru/2009/11/29/748/\">Q2W3 Thickbox</a></p>\n<p>This plugin enables thickbox pop-up window on thumbnail images.

They need to have a small number of changes so as to make them easy to test, lightweight to develop and to reduce the impact on the next major release. This also means that they will be easy to upgrade too and are less likely to break plugins / themes in the process so making the upgrade to them even easier and more worry free.</p>\n<p>If we let the content of these release grow too large then we will never have the time to work on the new features for the next major release which will then mean that release takes longer to arrive and may end up with less features.  We also need to remember that every change has the risk of introducing a new bug and this is another reason we should limit the number of changes in a maintenance release.</p>\n<p>Now we need to identify what sort of bugs fit into the category of critical bugs.  The most obvious and easiest to identify are the security bugs &#8211; fixes for these need to be available as soon as possible.

Hello. I&#8217;m here on behalf of the entire WordPress development team and community to announce the immediate availability of <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">WordPress version 2.9 &#8220;Carmen&#8221;</a> named in honor of magical jazz vocalist <a href=\"http://www.carmenmcrae.com/\">Carmen McRae</a> (whom we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http://www.last.fm/tag/wordpress-release-jazz\">added to our Last.fm WP release station</a>). You can upgrade easily from your Dashboard by going to <strong>Tools</strong> &gt; <strong>Upgrade</strong>, or you can <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">download from WordPress.org</a>. And of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a major release without a short video summarizing some of the cool things about the new version:<br />\n</p>\n<p>The coolest new stuff from a user point of view is:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Global undo/&#8221;trash&#8221; feature</strong>, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying &#8220;are you sure&#8221; messages we used to have on every delete.</li>\n<li><strong>Built-in image editor</strong> allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who&#8217;s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.</li>\n<li><strong>Batch plugin update and compatibility checking,</strong> which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we&#8217;re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds\"><strong>Easier video embeds</strong></a> that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).</li>\n</ol>\n<p>2.9 provides the smoothest ride yet because of a number of improvements under the hood and more subtle improvements you&#8217;ll begin to appreciate once you&#8217;ve been around the block a few times. Here&#8217;s just a sampling:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>We now have <code>rel=canonical</code> support for better SEO.</li>\n<li>There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file by adding <code>define(\'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR\', true);</code>.</li>\n<li>Themes can register &#8220;post thumbnails&#8221; which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.</li>\n<li>A new <code>commentmeta</code> table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework.</li>\n<li>Custom post types have been upgraded with better API support so you can juggle more types than just post, page, and attachment. (More of this planned for 3.0.)</li>\n<li>You can set custom theme directories, so a plugin can register a theme to be bundled with it or you can have multiple shared theme directories on your server.</li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie.</li>\n<li>Sidebars can now have descriptions so it&#8217;s more obvious what and where they do what they do.</li>\n<li>Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories &#8212; like post types!</li>\n<li>Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user&#8217;s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.</li>\n<li>The XML-RPC API has been extended to allow changing the user registration option. We fixed some Atom API attachment issues.</li>\n<li>Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one.</li>\n<li>When you&#8217;re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save. (Thank goodness!!!)</li>\n<li>The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet.</li>\n<li>Custom taxonomies are now included in the WXR export file and imported correctly.</li>\n<li>Better hooks and filters for excerpts, smilies, HTTP requests, user profiles, author links, taxonomies, SSL support, tag clouds, query_posts and WP_Query</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All of this and more is reflected in the <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&amp;milestone=2.9\">over 500 tickets, bugs, and enhancements that WP developers in this release cycle</a>.</p>\n<p>This release included code from over 140 contributors, here&#8217;s everyone we were able to identify: <a

This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds\"><strong>Easier video embeds</strong></a> that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).</li>\n</ol>\n<p>2.9 provides the smoothest ride yet because of a number of improvements under the hood and more subtle improvements you&#8217;ll begin to appreciate once you&#8217;ve been around the block a few times. Here&#8217;s just a sampling:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>We now have <code>rel=canonical</code> support for better SEO.</li>\n<li>There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file by adding <code>define(\'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR\', true);</code>.</li>\n<li>Themes can register &#8220;post thumbnails&#8221; which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.</li>\n<li>A new <code>commentmeta</code> table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework.</li>\n<li>Custom post types have been upgraded with better API support so you can juggle more types than just post, page, and attachment. (More of this planned for 3.0.)</li>\n<li>You can set custom theme directories, so a plugin can register a theme to be bundled with it or you can have multiple shared theme directories on your server.</li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie.</li>\n<li>Sidebars can now have descriptions so it&#8217;s more obvious what and where they do what they do.</li>\n<li>Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories &#8212; like post types!</li>\n<li>Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user&#8217;s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.</li>\n<li>The XML-RPC API has been extended to allow changing the user registration option. We fixed some Atom API attachment issues.</li>\n<li>Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one.</li>\n<li>When you&#8217;re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save. (Thank goodness!!!)</li>\n<li>The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet.</li>\n<li>Custom taxonomies are now included in the WXR export file and imported correctly.</li>\n<li>Better hooks and filters for excerpts, smilies, HTTP requests, user profiles, author links, taxonomies, SSL support, tag clouds, query_posts and WP_Query</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All of this and more is reflected in the <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&amp;milestone=2.9\">over 500 tickets, bugs, and enhancements that WP developers in this release cycle</a>.</p>\n<p>This release included code from over 140 contributors, here&#8217;s everyone we were able to identify: <a

Wowza!</p>\n<p>2.9 has been an exciting development cycle, and I must say it has whetted our appetite for 3.0, which is coming next (probably this spring) and will include at the very least the merge of MU with the WordPress core, and a new default theme. We can&#8217;t wait to start working on it. But first, some Carmen McRae tunes and a beer. Join us! <img src=\"http://wordpress.org/development/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /> </p>\n<p>(<em>After</em> you upgrade, of course!)</p>\n<p>I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.</p>\";}i:35;a:7:{s:5:\"title\";s:31:\"Dev Blog: 2010: A Theme Odyssey\";s:4:\"guid\";s:40:\"http://wordpress.org/development/?p=1065\";s:4:\"link\";s:62:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/12/2010-a-theme-odyssey/\";s:11:\"description\";s:2818:\"<p>After the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/12/core-team-meetup-results/\">video from the core team meetup</a> was posted, the topic that seemed to get the most attention on Twitter and various community sites was Matt&#8217;s announcement that there would be a new default theme in 2010, so I thought I&#8217;d start with that as the first of the meetup summaries.</p>\n<p>When Kubrick was bundled with core back in 2005, it was a cutting edge theme. Custom header, rounded corners, clean design&#8230; if you were using WordPress back then, let&#8217;s face it, you were impressed. Time moves on, though, fashions change, new styles become old standards, and what was once cutting edge suddenly seems old-fashioned and out of date.</p>\n<p>So, a new bundled theme in 2010? We think it&#8217;s a good idea. Something nice and light that can serve as a good example theme, include newer theme-based features, and look nice (and current) on a public site. We&#8217;d like to introduce a new default theme with version 3.0, which is anticipated to come out in mid-2010 (hence the name), and think it would be good for it to blend well aesthetically with WordPress itself.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been advocating moving toward <a href=\"http://elastictheme.org/\">Elastic</a>, the theme framework/WYSIWYG theme editor that was one of our Google Summer of Code student projects, but after some discussion I agreed with the guys that while Elastic is awesome and should be promoted as a community development project, it&#8217;s heavier than a default theme needs to be. The default theme doesn&#8217;t need to be a full-featured framework, it just needs to work well, look awesome, have good code and be a good starting point for beginning themers. We were thinking of a fairly minimalist design that would make it easy to customize.</p>\n<p>As for the code, there&#8217;s a question of if it will really be a new theme, or if it will be a re-styled and updated version of Kubrick.  We don&#8217;t know the final answer to that yet, because the ultimate decision will be made with the community&#8217;s input, but we believe all new markup is the way to go. What do you think? Without venturing into theme framework territory, are there features you think a new default theme should have? Some people have been <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9015\">talking about it on Trac</a> over the past year, if you wonder what&#8217;s been tossed around so far. I thought about posting a poll here (you know how I love posting polls to gauge opinion), but in this case I think a discussion thread might be better, so that each vote can explain the reason behind it.

Because WordPress (the software) doesn&#8217;t know whether a theme or plugin is listed in the WordPress.org repositories, it has to check them all, and let the repository sort it out. Some have expressed concern that private plugins developed for a single client could contain sensitive information in their headers, like contact information for the developer, etc.</p>\n<p>If you, as a plugin or theme developer, would like to exclude one of your plugins or themes from the update array, the following code will do the trick.</p>\n<p>For plugins:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">function cws_hidden_plugin_12345( $r, $url ) {\n	if ( 0 !== strpos( $url, \'http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check\' ) )\n		return $r; // Not a plugin update request. Bail immediately.\n	$plugins = unserialize( $r[\'body\'][\'plugins\'] );\n	unset( $plugins-&gt;plugins[ plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ] );\n	unset( $plugins-&gt;active[ array_search( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ), $plugins-&gt;active ) ] );\n	$r[\'body\'][\'plugins\'] = serialize( $plugins );\n	return $r;\n}\n\nadd_filter( \'http_request_args\', \'cws_hidden_plugin_12345\', 5, 2 );</pre>\n<p>Just change the <code>cws_hidden_plugin_12345</code> string (two instances) to a namespaced function name for your plugin, and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>\n<p>For themes:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">function cws_hidden_theme_12345( $r, $url ) {\n	if ( 0 !== strpos( $url, \'http://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check\' ) )\n		return $r; // Not a theme update request. Bail immediately.\n	$themes = unserialize( $r[\'body\'][\'themes\'] );\n	unset( $themes[ get_option( \'template\' ) ] );\n	unset( $themes[ get_option( \'stylesheet\' ) ] );\n	$r[\'body\'][\'themes\'] = serialize( $themes );\n	return $r;\n}\n\nadd_filter( \'http_request_args\', \'cws_hidden_theme_12345\', 5, 2 );</pre>\n<p>Put this in your theme&#8217;s functions.php Again, just change the <code>cws_hidden_theme_12345</code> string (two instances) to a namespaced function name for your theme. Do not that this will only hide the ACTIVE theme. This code doesn&#8217;t get run if the theme isn&#8217;t active.

Because WordPress (the software) doesn&#8217;t know whether a theme or plugin is listed in the WordPress.org repositories, it has to check them all, and let the repository sort it out. Some have expressed concern that private plugins developed for a single client could contain sensitive information in their headers, like contact information for the developer, etc.</p>\n<p>If you, as a plugin or theme developer, would like to exclude one of your plugins or themes from the update array, the following code will do the trick.</p>\n<p>For plugins:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">function cws_hidden_plugin_12345( $r, $url ) {\n	if ( 0 !== strpos( $url, \'http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check\' ) )\n		return $r; // Not a plugin update request. Bail immediately.\n	$plugins = unserialize( $r[\'body\'][\'plugins\'] );\n	unset( $plugins-&gt;plugins[ plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ] );\n	unset( $plugins-&gt;active[ array_search( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ), $plugins-&gt;active ) ] );\n	$r[\'body\'][\'plugins\'] = serialize( $plugins );\n	return $r;\n}\n\nadd_filter( \'http_request_args\', \'cws_hidden_plugin_12345\', 5, 2 );</pre>\n<p>Just change the <code>cws_hidden_plugin_12345</code> string (two instances) to a namespaced function name for your plugin, and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>\n<p>For themes:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">function cws_hidden_theme_12345( $r, $url ) {\n	if ( 0 !== strpos( $url, \'http://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check\' ) )\n		return $r; // Not a theme update request. Bail immediately.\n	$themes = unserialize( $r[\'body\'][\'themes\'] );\n	unset( $themes[ get_option( \'template\' ) ] );\n	unset( $themes[ get_option( \'stylesheet\' ) ] );\n	$r[\'body\'][\'themes\'] = serialize( $themes );\n	return $r;\n}\n\nadd_filter( \'http_request_args\', \'cws_hidden_theme_12345\', 5, 2 );</pre>\n<p>Put this in your theme&#8217;s functions.php Again, just change the <code>cws_hidden_theme_12345</code> string (two instances) to a namespaced function name for your theme. Do not that this will only hide the ACTIVE theme. This code doesn&#8217;t get run if the theme isn&#8217;t active. If you want to hide non-active themes, you&#8217;ll have to put this code in  a plugin and instead of using <code>get_option( \'template\' )</code> or <code>get_option( \'stylesheet\' )</code> you&#8217;d hardcode the values for the inactive theme you want to hide.</p>\n<p>Just a note: I don&#8217;t want the comments to turn into another battlefield for the update check debate.
