WordPress has always respected the importance of your writing with auto-save, and now we&#8217;re taking that to another level by allowing you to view who made what changes when to any post or page through a super-easy interface, much like <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia&#038;action=history\">Wikipedia</a> or a <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Subversion\">version control system</a>.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/diff.gif\" alt=\"Differences between two versions of posts.\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3\" /></p>\n<p>This is handy on any blog in case you make a mistake and want to go back to an older version of a post, and it&#8217;s super handy for multi-author blogs where you can see every change tracked by person.</p>\n<h3>Press This!: Post from wherever you are on the web</h3>\n<p>A few months ago on my blog we <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2008/05/favorite-posting-bookmarklet/\">started a conversation about the posting bookmarklet</a> in WordPress and which systems we should look to for inspiration, like Flock, FriendFeed, Facebook, Tumblr, and Delicious. From these suggestions and the Quick Post plugin by Josh Kenzer, we developed a Press This bookmark you can add to your toolbar that provides a fast and smart popup to do posts to your WordPress blog:</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/press-this.gif\" alt=\"Screenshot of Press This interface.\" title=\"press-this\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4\" /></p>\n<p>For example, if you click &#8220;Press This&#8221; from a <a href=\"http://youtube.com/\">Youtube</a> page it&#8217;ll magically extract the video embed code, and if you do it from a <a href=\"http://flickr.com/\">Flickr</a> page it&#8217;ll make it easy for you to put the image in your post. On my blog I&#8217;ve been experimenting with using different categories and the <code>in_category()</code> function &#8212; such as video, quote, aside, et cetera &#8212; to create a more tumblelog-like format.</p>\n<h3>Shift Gears: Turbo-speed your blogging</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://gears.google.com/\">Gears</a> is an open source browser extension project started by Google that developers like us can use to give you features we wouldn&#8217;t normally be able to. There are a lot of things we can do with Gears in the future, but in this release we&#8217;ve stuck to using what&#8217;s called a &#8220;Local Server&#8221; to cache or keep a copy of commonly-used Javascript and CSS files on your computer, which can speed up the loading of some pages by several seconds (they just pop right up!). You can install Gears for Firefox or Internet Explorer, with support for Safari and Opera pending. WordPress works just fine without it, you just get a little extra juice when you have it installed.</p>\n<h3>Theme Previews: See it before your audience does</h3>\n<p>Now when you select a theme it pops up a window that shows the theme live with all your content, instead of immediately making it active on your site. This is great for just test driving themes before making a switch over publicly, and it is also helpful when you are developing a theme and need to test it but don&#8217;t want everybody to see your ongoing <del datetime=\"2008-07-14T21:23:41+00:00\">mistakes</del> development.</p>\n<p>Here are some of the smaller features and improvements in 2.6:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Word count!</strong> Never guess how many words are in your post anymore.</li>\n<li><strong>Image captions</strong>, so you can add sweet captions <a href=\"http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/\">like Political Ticker does</a> under your images.</li>\n<li><strong>Bulk management</strong> of plugins.</li>\n<li>A completely <strong>revamped image control</strong> to allow for easier inserting, floating, and resizing. It&#8217;s now fully integrated with the WYSIWYG.</li>\n<li>Drag-and-drop <strong>reordering of Galleries</strong>.</li>\n<li><strong>Plugin update</strong> notification bubble.</li>\n<li>Customizable default avatars.</li>\n<li>You can now upload media when in full-screen mode.</li>\n<li>Remote publishing via XML-RPC and APP is now secure (off) by default, but you can turn it on easily through the options screen.</li>\n<li>Full <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer\">SSL support</a> in the core, and the ability to <strong>force SSL</strong> for security.</li>\n<li>You can now have many thousands of pages or categories with no interface issues.</li>\n<li>Ability to move your <code>wp-config</code> file and <code>wp-content</code> directories to a custom location, for &#8220;clean&#8221; SVN checkouts.</li>\n<li>Select a range of checkboxes with &#8220;shift-click.&#8221;</li>\n<li>You can toggle between the Flash uploader and the classic one.</li>\n<li>A number of proactive security enhancements, including cookies and database interactions.</li>\n<li>Stronger better faster versions of TinyMCE, jQuery, and jQuery UI.</li>\n<li>Version 2.6 <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&#038;milestone=2.6\">fixes approximately 194 bugs</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Developer Notes</h3>\n<p>WordPress.org had over 75 people contributing code to WordPress 2.6. In addition to the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/about/\">core commit team</a> we had contributions from <a href=\"http://dd32.id.au/\">Dion Hulse</a>, <a href=\"http://www.ilfilosofo.com/\">Austin Matzko</a>, <a href=\"http://ottodestruct.com/blog/\">Otto42</a>, <a href=\"http://extralogical.net/\">Benedict Eastaugh</a>, and <a href=\"http://www.freecharity.org.uk/\">pishmishy</a>. <a href=\"http://xavisys.com/\">AaronCampbell</a> and <a href=\"http://www.marcozehe.de/\">Marco Zehe</a> provided more than a few patches. Back among the top code contributors is <a href=\"http://www.santosj.name/\">Jacob Santos</a>. <a href=\"http://www.buayacorp.com/\">Alex Concha</a> continues to have WordPress&#8217; back. Joining bug reporting and gardening elite are <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Hakre\">hakre</a>, <a href=\"http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/\">Simon Wheatley</a>, mtekk, and <a href=\"http://www.prescriber.org.uk/\">Matty Rob</a>. Finally, congratulations to our <a href=\"http://westi.wordpress.com/\">Peter Westwood</a> on your recent wedding! I&#8217;m also proud to announce we&#8217;re adding a new core committer to the team: Andrew Ozz (azaozz) has been a huge help to the core team this year, particularly around TinyMCE and making the WYSIWYG something that works for you, not against you.</p>\n<p>Because of the new capabilities to make WordPress a clean SVN checkout, plugin and theme authors should do their best to handle forms and posts through WP rather than trying to post to their files directly, here&#8217;s a quick Codex article about <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests\">how to do it using our forward-compatible APIs</a>.</p>\n<h3>Upgrading</h3>\n<p>2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5 from a plugin and theme compatibility point of view, so upgrades from 2.5 should be pretty painless. The 2.5 branch will no longer be maintain so everyone is encouraged to upgrade. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">Our standard 3-step upgrade instructions apply to this release</a>. There were at least 1,984,047 downloads of the 2.5 series, the fastest growing release we&#8217;ve ever had, and I think all of those people will find 2.6 adds a level of polish that really makes WP a pleasure to use every day. (At least I do. :))</p>\n<h3>Easter Egg</h3>\n<p>There have been rumors and allegations that there was a so-called &#8220;easter egg&#8221; added to 2.6 early in its development. These rumors and allegations are completely false!</p>\n<p>P.S.

The improvements in 2.5 are numerous, and almost entirely a result of your feedback: multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn&#8217;t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts <em>and</em> pages.</p>\n<p>For a short overview of the features with screenshots, it&#8217;d be best to <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/25-sneak-peek/\">visit our sneak peek announcement for RC1</a>. Or check out <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-rc2/\">a 4-minute screencast of the new interface in action</a>. If you just want to jump straight to the good stuff <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">here&#8217;s where you can find 2.5 upgrade and download information</a>.</p>\n<p>If you want to see everything I would grab a cup of coffee or a mojito, because this post is epic.</p>\n<h3>User Features</h3>\n<p><strong>Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard</strong> &#8212; we&#8217;ve worked hard to take your feedback about what&#8217;s most important in the dashboard and organize things to allow you to focus on what&#8217;s important &#8212; your blog &#8212; and get out of your way. In collaboration with <a href=\"http://happycog.com/\">Happy Cog</a> and the community  we&#8217;ve taken the first major step forward in the WordPress interface since version 1.5.</p>\n<p><strong>Dashboard Widgets</strong> &#8212; the dashboard home page is now a series of widgets, including ones to show you fun stats about your posting, latest comments, people linking to you, new and popular plugins, and of course WordPress news. You can customize any of the dashboard widgets to show, for example, news from your local paper instead of WP news. Plugins can also hook in, for example the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/\">WordPress.com stats widget</a> adds a handy double-wide stats box.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://s.wordpress.org/screenshots/2.5/stats-widget.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Multi-file upload with progress bar</strong> &#8212; before when you would upload a large file you&#8217;d wait forever, never knowing how far along it was. And uploading more than one photo was an exercise in patience, as you could only do one at a time. Now you can select a whole of folder images or music or videos at once and it&#8217;ll show you the progress of each upload.</p>\n<p><strong>Bonus: EXIF extraction</strong> &#8212; if you upload JPEG files with EXIF metadata like camera make and model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, et al. WordPress will extract all the data into custom fields you can use in your template. If you use the EXIF title fields or similar those will be put into their equivalent fields in WP. Most modern digital cameras generate EXIF data.</p>\n<p><strong>Search posts and pages</strong> &#8212; search used to cover just posts, now it includes pages too, a great boon for those using WordPress as a CMS. New themes can style or sort pages differently in results.</p>\n<p><strong>Tag management</strong> &#8212; you can now add, rename, delete, and do whatever else you like to tags from inside WordPress, no plugins needed.</p>\n<p><strong>Password strength meter</strong> &#8212; when you change your password on your profile it&#8217;ll tell you how strong your password is to help you pick a good one.</p>\n<p><strong>Concurrent editing protection</strong> &#8212; for those of you on multi-author blogs, have you ever opened a post while someone was already editing it, and your auto-saves kept overwriting each other, irrecoverably losing hours of work? I bet that added a few words to your vocabulary. Now if you open a post that someone else is editing, WordPress magically locks it and prevents you from saving until the other person is done. You&#8217;ll see a message like below.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://s.wordpress.org/screenshots/2.5/write-currently-editing.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Few-click plugin upgrades</strong> &#8212; if the plugins you use are part of the plugin directory since 2.3 we&#8217;ve told you when they have an update available. Now we take that to the next logical step &#8212; downloading and installing the upgrade for you. This is dependent a little bit on your host setup, and it may ask you for your FTP password much like OS X or Windows will ask you for a password, but it works well on majority of hosts we were able to test, your mileage may very, plugins in mirror may be larger than they appear.</p>\n<p><strong>Friendlier visual post editor</strong> &#8212; I&#8217;m not sure how to articulate this improvement except to say &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t mess with your code anymore.&#8221; We&#8217;re now using version 3.0 of TinyMCE, which means better compatibility with Safari, and we&#8217;ve paid particular attention this release to its integration and interaction with complex HTML. It also now has a &#8220;no-distractions&#8221; mode which is like Writeroom for your browser.</p>\n<p><strong>Built-in galleries</strong> &#8212; when you take advantage of multi-file upload to upload a bunch of photos, we have a new shortcode that lets you to easily embed galleries by just putting [ gallery] (without the space) in your post. It&#8217;ll display all your thumbnails and captions and each will link each to a page where people can comment on the individual photos. I&#8217;ve been using this feature on my blog and have already uploaded over <a href=\"http://ma.tt/category/gallery/\">1,200 pictures into 23 galleries</a>. The shortcode has some hidden options too, <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_the_gallery_shortcode\">check out this documentation</a>.</p>\n<h3>Developer Features</h3>\n<p>Now for the geeky stuff. While we&#8217;re excited about the above features, each one represents a new opportunity or API for other developers to take to another level. (The best of which we&#8217;ll someday integrate back into WP.)</p>\n<p><strong>Salted passwords</strong> &#8212; we now use the <a href=\"http://www.openwall.com/phpass/\">phpass</a> library to stretch and salt all passwords stored in the database, which makes brute-forcing them impractical. If you use something like <a href=\"http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/\">mod_auth_mysql</a> we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/\">created a plugin that will allow you to use legacy MD5 hashing</a>. (The hashing is completely pluggable.) Users will automatically switch to the more secure passwords next time they log in.</p>\n<p><strong>Secure cookies</strong> &#8212; cookies are now encrypted based on the protocol described <a href=\"http://www.cse.msu.edu/~alexliu/publications/Cookie/cookie.pdf\">in this PDF paper</a>. which is something like <code>user name|expiration time|HMAC( user name|expiration time, k)</code> where <code>k = HMAC(user name|expiration time, sk)</code> and where <code>sk</code> is a secret key, which you can define in your config.</p>\n<p><strong>Easy taxonomy and URL creation</strong> &#8212; probably best illustrated with an example: I can call <code>register_taxonomy()</code> with <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6357/taxes.php\">a few arguments</a> to register a &#8220;people&#8221; taxonomy and whenever I edit an image I&#8217;ll see a UI like tags has for identifying the people in a photo, and these will be URL addressable with <code>/person/firstname-lastname/</code>. All with a single function call.</p>\n<p><strong>Inline documentation</strong> &#8212; the vast majority of the new code going into WordPress include inline documentation that explains the functions and documents their arguments.</p>\n<p><strong>Database optimization</strong> &#8212; we haven&#8217;t changed the table layout in this release, which is one of the reasons so many plugins work fine with 2.5. We have added a few new indicies and made a few default fields more flexible based on some bottlenecks we found on WordPress.com, which now hosts 2.7 million WordPress blogs. It should be invisible to the application, just a bit faster on the database side.</p>\n<p><strong>$wpdb->prepare()</strong> &#8212; now almost all of the SQL in WordPress is prepared first, and the same functions are available to your plugins.

The most important thing to check is your plugins, so if for example everything works except the new uploader, a legacy plugin might be causing a javascript error on the page and breaking it. If something goes wrong, the safest thing to do is turn your plugins off (we have a button to do them all at once, now) and turn them back on one-by-one, testing the problem along the way.

The improvements in 2.5 are numerous, and almost entirely a result of your feedback: multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn&#8217;t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts <em>and</em> pages.</p>\n<p>For a short overview of the features with screenshots, it&#8217;d be best to <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/25-sneak-peek/\">visit our sneak peek announcement for RC1</a>. Or check out <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-rc2/\">a 4-minute screencast of the new interface in action</a>. If you just want to jump straight to the good stuff <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">here&#8217;s where you can find 2.5 upgrade and download information</a>.</p>\n<p>If you want to see everything I would grab a cup of coffee or a mojito, because this post is epic.</p>\n<h3>User Features</h3>\n<p><strong>Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard</strong> &#8212; we&#8217;ve worked hard to take your feedback about what&#8217;s most important in the dashboard and organize things to allow you to focus on what&#8217;s important &#8212; your blog &#8212; and get out of your way. In collaboration with <a href=\"http://happycog.com/\">Happy Cog</a> and the community  we&#8217;ve taken the first major step forward in the WordPress interface since version 1.5.</p>\n<p><strong>Dashboard Widgets</strong> &#8212; the dashboard home page is now a series of widgets, including ones to show you fun stats about your posting, latest comments, people linking to you, new and popular plugins, and of course WordPress news. You can customize any of the dashboard widgets to show, for example, news from your local paper instead of WP news. Plugins can also hook in, for example the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/\">WordPress.com stats widget</a> adds a handy double-wide stats box.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://s.wordpress.org/screenshots/2.5/stats-widget.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Multi-file upload with progress bar</strong> &#8212; before when you would upload a large file you&#8217;d wait forever, never knowing how far along it was. And uploading more than one photo was an exercise in patience, as you could only do one at a time. Now you can select a whole of folder images or music or videos at once and it&#8217;ll show you the progress of each upload.</p>\n<p><strong>Bonus: EXIF extraction</strong> &#8212; if you upload JPEG files with EXIF metadata like camera make and model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, et al. WordPress will extract all the data into custom fields you can use in your template. If you use the EXIF title fields or similar those will be put into their equivalent fields in WP. Most modern digital cameras generate EXIF data.</p>\n<p><strong>Search posts and pages</strong> &#8212; search used to cover just posts, now it includes pages too, a great boon for those using WordPress as a CMS. New themes can style or sort pages differently in results.</p>\n<p><strong>Tag management</strong> &#8212; you can now add, rename, delete, and do whatever else you like to tags from inside WordPress, no plugins needed.</p>\n<p><strong>Password strength meter</strong> &#8212; when you change your password on your profile it&#8217;ll tell you how strong your password is to help you pick a good one.</p>\n<p><strong>Concurrent editing protection</strong> &#8212; for those of you on multi-author blogs, have you ever opened a post while someone was already editing it, and your auto-saves kept overwriting each other, irrecoverably losing hours of work? I bet that added a few words to your vocabulary. Now if you open a post that someone else is editing, WordPress magically locks it and prevents you from saving until the other person is done. You&#8217;ll see a message like below.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://s.wordpress.org/screenshots/2.5/write-currently-editing.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Few-click plugin upgrades</strong> &#8212; if the plugins you use are part of the plugin directory since 2.3 we&#8217;ve told you when they have an update available. Now we take that to the next logical step &#8212; downloading and installing the upgrade for you. This is dependent a little bit on your host setup, and it may ask you for your FTP password much like OS X or Windows will ask you for a password, but it works well on majority of hosts we were able to test, your mileage may very, plugins in mirror may be larger than they appear.</p>\n<p><strong>Friendlier visual post editor</strong> &#8212; I&#8217;m not sure how to articulate this improvement except to say &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t mess with your code anymore.&#8221; We&#8217;re now using version 3.0 of TinyMCE, which means better compatibility with Safari, and we&#8217;ve paid particular attention this release to its integration and interaction with complex HTML. It also now has a &#8220;no-distractions&#8221; mode which is like Writeroom for your browser.</p>\n<p><strong>Built-in galleries</strong> &#8212; when you take advantage of multi-file upload to upload a bunch of photos, we have a new shortcode that lets you to easily embed galleries by just putting [ gallery] (without the space) in your post. It&#8217;ll display all your thumbnails and captions and each will link each to a page where people can comment on the individual photos. I&#8217;ve been using this feature on my blog and have already uploaded over <a href=\"http://ma.tt/category/gallery/\">1,200 pictures into 23 galleries</a>. The shortcode has some hidden options too, <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_the_gallery_shortcode\">check out this documentation</a>.</p>\n<h3>Developer Features</h3>\n<p>Now for the geeky stuff. While we&#8217;re excited about the above features, each one represents a new opportunity or API for other developers to take to another level. (The best of which we&#8217;ll someday integrate back into WP.)</p>\n<p><strong>Salted passwords</strong> &#8212; we now use the <a href=\"http://www.openwall.com/phpass/\">phpass</a> library to stretch and salt all passwords stored in the database, which makes brute-forcing them impractical. If you use something like <a href=\"http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/\">mod_auth_mysql</a> we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/\">created a plugin that will allow you to use legacy MD5 hashing</a>. (The hashing is completely pluggable.) Users will automatically switch to the more secure passwords next time they log in.</p>\n<p><strong>Secure cookies</strong> &#8212; cookies are now encrypted based on the protocol described <a href=\"http://www.cse.msu.edu/~alexliu/publications/Cookie/cookie.pdf\">in this PDF paper</a>. which is something like <code>user name|expiration time|HMAC( user name|expiration time, k)</code> where <code>k = HMAC(user name|expiration time, sk)</code> and where <code>sk</code> is a secret key, which you can define in your config.</p>\n<p><strong>Easy taxonomy and URL creation</strong> &#8212; probably best illustrated with an example: I can call <code>register_taxonomy()</code> with <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6357/taxes.php\">a few arguments</a> to register a &#8220;people&#8221; taxonomy and whenever I edit an image I&#8217;ll see a UI like tags has for identifying the people in a photo, and these will be URL addressable with <code>/person/firstname-lastname/</code>. All with a single function call.</p>\n<p><strong>Inline documentation</strong> &#8212; the vast majority of the new code going into WordPress include inline documentation that explains the functions and documents their arguments.</p>\n<p><strong>Database optimization</strong> &#8212; we haven&#8217;t changed the table layout in this release, which is one of the reasons so many plugins work fine with 2.5. We have added a few new indicies and made a few default fields more flexible based on some bottlenecks we found on WordPress.com, which now hosts 2.7 million WordPress blogs. It should be invisible to the application, just a bit faster on the database side.</p>\n<p><strong>$wpdb->prepare()</strong> &#8212; now almost all of the SQL in WordPress is prepared first, and the same functions are available to your plugins. This should prevent elementary SQL escaping issues.</p>\n<p><strong>Media buttons</strong> &#8212; the add media buttons above the post are both expandable, so you could have an &#8220;Add Google Map&#8221; button if you like, They can be overridden, so if you think you can do the video or audio tab better than we have you can replace the default.</p>\n<p><strong>Shortcode API</strong> &#8212; the new gallery functionality is powered by the new shortcode API. Shortcodes are little bracket-delineated strings that can be magically expanded at runtime to something more interesting. They give users a short, easy to type and copy/paste string they can move around their post without worrying about messing up complex HTML or embed codes. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API\">The Shortcode API is fully documented</a>.</p>\n<p>Now you see why 2.5 took a little extra time. <img src=\'http://wordpress.org/development/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif\' alt=\':)\' class=\'wp-smiley\' /> </p>\n<h3>Upgrade Notes</h3>\n<p>2.5 does include security fixes so it is recommended for all users, the 2.3 branch will no longer be updated. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">The upgrade instructions for this version are pretty much the same as any other version</a>.

The result is a new way of interacting with WordPress that will remain familiar to seasoned users while improving the experience for everyone. This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint &#8212; we’ve re-thought the look of WordPress, as well as how it’s organized so that you can forget about the software and focus on your own creative pursuits.</p>\n<p>Here are a few vignettes of what&#8217;s in store.</p>\n<h3>The Dashboard</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/dashboard-wide.png\" alt=\"dashboard-wide.png\" /></p>\n<p>The Dashboard’s most important role is to inform quickly and get you to where you’re headed in the admin. In interviewing users, we found that most of you ignore the Dashboard entirely &#8212; its useful information being mostly hidden in an overly complex design. The new Dashboard is focused on the most relevant tasks at hand: a quick summary of what’s published and scheduled for publication, the latest comments and incoming links, blog stats, and WordPress updates and news. You can add your own RSS feeds and edit the way information is presented so that the new Dashboard conforms to the way you use WordPress.</p>\n<h3>Navigation</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/nav-wide.png\" alt=\"nav-wide.png\" /></p>\n<p>The WordPress navigation has confounded even sophisticated users. With the new design, we’ve cut the number of navigation options in half, separating the primary functions (writing, managing posts and pages, editing the blog’s design, and managing comments) from secondary functions. This presents information at a more comfortable pace, revealing only the information that’s necessary. Everything you need is still there &#8212; just better organized. (Especially for people new to WP.)</p>\n<h3>Write</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/write-wide.png\" alt=\"write-wide.png\" /></p>\n<p><img class=\"right\" src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/write3.png\" alt=\"write2.png\" /></p>\n<p>By far, the most frequently accessed part of WordPress is the Write screen. It gets the job done, but its myriad options can be overwhelming. The new write screen only displays the information that you’ll use most often. It displays the most common fields in a way that makes posting incredibly easy. Additional options are hidden away until you need them. The new Write screen anticipates the natural flow of the way you write, and is smart enough to remember the way you left it so that your preferred writing environment is always quickly available. The new visual editor even has a handy full-screen mode to help block out distractions while composing your newest post. (My personal favorite new feature.)</p>\n<h3>Manage</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/manage-wide.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p><img class=\"right\" src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/manage.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p>The Manage screens have been redesigned and unified so that now, managing your pages, posts, media, and comments all use similar, consistent interfaces.

WordPress 2.7 has several exciting features <em>planned/proposed</em> as discussed in informal meetings on IRC and the feature votes being posted on the Codex. Though there are very few hints hint of a release date, I expect it to be released by the end of 2008.</p>\n<p><strong>Here is a list of features that will be introduced into WordPress 2.7:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Comments API</strong> – This according to me is the most exciting feature, it will allow developers to create offline integration of comments management, where users could use desktop clients to manage comments (moderate, edit, reply, delete, spam, unspam).</li>\n<li><strong>Keyboard shortcuts for comment moderation</strong> – This feature will help users to quickly moderate comments using keyboard shortucts, so you can expect key combinations like Ctrl + S to spam a comment, Ctrl + A to approve and so on.</li>\n<li><strong>Theme Update API</strong> – WordPress 2.5 and above have really made plugin management quite easy, you automatically receive notices when a new update to a plugin is available and can upgrade it without having to manually upload it to your FTP server.

WordPress 2.7 has several exciting features <em>planned/proposed</em> as discussed in informal meetings on IRC and the feature votes being posted on the Codex. Though there are very few hints hint of a release date, I expect it to be released by the end of 2008.</p>\n<p><strong>Here is a list of features that will be introduced into WordPress 2.7:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Comments API</strong> – This according to me is the most exciting feature, it will allow developers to create offline integration of comments management, where users could use desktop clients to manage comments (moderate, edit, reply, delete, spam, unspam).</li>\n<li><strong>Keyboard shortcuts for comment moderation</strong> – This feature will help users to quickly moderate comments using keyboard shortucts, so you can expect key combinations like Ctrl + S to spam a comment, Ctrl + A to approve and so on.</li>\n<li><strong>Theme Update API</strong> – WordPress 2.5 and above have really made plugin management quite easy, you automatically receive notices when a new update to a plugin is available and can upgrade it without having to manually upload it to your FTP server. With this addition WordPress aims to bridge the gap between theme developers and the users for publishing updates to themes.</li>\n<li><strong>One Click Plugin Installs</strong> – Installing a plugin will be much easier with One click plugin installs.

It&#8217;s worth posting here so others don&#8217;t make the same mistake.</p>\n<h4>What Happened</h4>\n<p>When redeveloping the site, we moved the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/\" rel=\"external\">WordPress</a> instance from the web root:</p>\n<p>/public_html/wp-config.php<br />\n/public_html/wp-includes/<br />\n/public_html/&#8230;</p>\n<p>to a subdirectory within the web root:</p>\n<p>/public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php<br />\n/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/<br />\n/public_html/&#8230;</p>\n<p>I consider this to be a best practice for WordPress powered sites, as it makes version upgrades a bit easier (among other things).<sup><a href=\"http://alexking.org/blog/feed?cat=16#fn1217490637389n\" id=\"fn1217490637389\" class=\"footnote\">1</a></sup> Some plugins don&#8217;t work well with symlinked &#8220;plugins&#8221; directories, but those generally have easy fixes (use ABSPATH, not dirname() in your plugin).</p>\n<p>These changes were made and thoroughly tested on our dev server with historical data. We then made the changes in a staging environment under a beta.example.com style domain name before pushing the changes live. In short, we were pretty careful and tested pretty well.</p>\n<h4>The Result</h4>\n<p>When we finally pushed everything live, the production server was brought to its knees.

We then made the changes in a staging environment under a beta.example.com style domain name before pushing the changes live. In short, we were pretty careful and tested pretty well.</p>\n<h4>The Result</h4>\n<p>When we finally pushed everything live, the production server was brought to its knees.

WordPress MU is the multi blog version of the popular blogging software WordPress. It&#8217;s the engine behind <a href=\"http://wordpress.com/\">WordPress.com</a> and many other blogging sites.</p>\n<p>This version of WordPress MU is based on WordPress 2.6. There&#8217;s a long and interesting <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/07/wordpress-26-tyner/\">WordPress.org post</a> on the new features in 2.6 so get over there to read up on post revisions, &#8220;Press This!&#8221;, Gears, Theme Previews, and the long list of developers who helped make this release a reality.</p>\n<p>Some of the new features in this release of MU:\n<ol>\n<li> Version number is 2.6 rather than 1.6 because it just makes sense to synchronise the major version numbers.</li>\n<li> Signup page now has a nonce which should help in the fight against spammers, for a short while anyway.</li>\n<li> Redirecting to the signup page for 404s and for unknown blogs is not enabled by default. Check out wp-config-sample.php for instructions.</li>\n<li> &#8220;allowed_themes&#8221; filter, much like the plugins filtered added previously.</li>\n<li> New functions: get_id_from_blogname(), is_main_blog().</li>\n<li> get_blog_details() can now take a blogname as well as a blog_id.</li>\n<li> Custom first posts didn&#8217;t always work. Now they do.</li>\n<li> Blognames in the &#8220;Add blog&#8221; form in wpmu-blogs.php are now sanitized.</li>\n<li> Added &#8220;pre_site_option_*&#8221; and &#8220;site_option_*&#8221; filters like the similar option filters.</li>\n<li> Meta fields will be passed on signup again.</li>\n<li> Added an &#8220;admin_header_navigation&#8221; filter so the top right navigation in the backend can be customised.</li>\n<li> The signup page uses &#8220;blogname&#8221; instead of &#8220;blog_id&#8221; to avoid confusion with the global variable of the same name. Plugins will break if not updated!</li>\n</ol>\n<p>That last change is quite a major one. If you have any plugins that interact with the signup form they will need to be updated!</p>\n<p>This release also addresses some security issues spotted by <a href=\"http://www.buayacorp.com/\">Alexander Concha</a> and <a href=\"http://blogs.ua.es/jgaliana\">Juan Galiana</a>.

It&#8217;s the engine behind <a href=\"http://wordpress.com/\">WordPress.com</a> and many other blogging sites.</p>\n<p>This version of WordPress MU is based on WordPress 2.6. There&#8217;s a long and interesting <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/07/wordpress-26-tyner/\">WordPress.org post</a> on the new features in 2.6 so get over there to read up on post revisions, &#8220;Press This!&#8221;, Gears, Theme Previews, and the long list of developers who helped make this release a reality.</p>\n<p>Some of the new features in this release of MU:\n<ol>\n<li> Version number is 2.6 rather than 1.6 because it just makes sense to synchronise the major version numbers.</li>\n<li> Signup page now has a nonce which should help in the fight against spammers, for a short while anyway.</li>\n<li> Redirecting to the signup page for 404s and for unknown blogs is not enabled by default. Check out wp-config-sample.php for instructions.</li>\n<li> &#8220;allowed_themes&#8221; filter, much like the plugins filtered added previously.</li>\n<li> New functions: get_id_from_blogname(), is_main_blog().</li>\n<li> get_blog_details() can now take a blogname as well as a blog_id.</li>\n<li> Custom first posts didn&#8217;t always work. Now they do.</li>\n<li> Blognames in the &#8220;Add blog&#8221; form in wpmu-blogs.php are now sanitized.</li>\n<li> Added &#8220;pre_site_option_*&#8221; and &#8220;site_option_*&#8221; filters like the similar option filters.</li>\n<li> Meta fields will be passed on signup again.</li>\n<li> Added an &#8220;admin_header_navigation&#8221; filter so the top right navigation in the backend can be customised.</li>\n<li> The signup page uses &#8220;blogname&#8221; instead of &#8220;blog_id&#8221; to avoid confusion with the global variable of the same name. Plugins will break if not updated!</li>\n</ol>\n<p>That last change is quite a major one. If you have any plugins that interact with the signup form they will need to be updated!</p>\n<p>This release also addresses some security issues spotted by <a href=\"http://www.buayacorp.com/\">Alexander Concha</a> and <a href=\"http://blogs.ua.es/jgaliana\">Juan Galiana</a>.

It makes for a good list of what to do (or not do) when writing a WordPress plugin, something that might be generally useful to plugin authors.  These things won&#8217;t make your plugin <em>good</em> &#8212; they&#8217;ll just help make it secure and stable.</p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t ignore security</h3>\n<p>WordPress plugins have unlimited power, which is a blessing (it makes WordPress very flexible), but it can be a curse if your plugin is not code with security in mind.  If things like <a href=\"http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/06/02/wordpress-203-nonces/\">CSRF</a>, <a href=\"http://apeatling.wordpress.com/2008/06/25/prepare-dont-escape/\">the prepare() method</a> (SQL injection protection), XSS are not intimately known to you, it&#8217;s time for you to do some research.  When someone installs their plugin, they are potentially putting their site&#8217;s security in your hands.  Rise to the occasion.</p>\n<h3>Make proper use of the role/capability system</h3>\n<p>WordPress controls admin access using a roles/capabilities system.  Make sure your plugin is checking against an appropriate capability.  If it is the sort of thing that only &#8220;admins&#8221; should use, you should be checking against the <code>manage_options</code> capability.  If this is something that an author should be able to do, you might use the <code>publish_post</code> capability.  Do not check against roles.  Roles are only containers for capabilities, and you can&#8217;t assume that an &#8220;author&#8221; on one blog means the same thing on all of them.</p>\n<h3>Use current API functions</h3>\n<p>WordPress has a lot of legacy code and deprecated functions.  We try not to break stuff without good reason, so often times we&#8217;ll leave in compatibility for old API functions.  If your plugin is using these functions, it tells me that you&#8217;re not up on current WordPress development.  This means that your plugin might be more likely to break with a WordPress upgrade, and it suggests sloppiness that can lead to security issues.</p>\n<h3>Mind your performance</h3>\n<p>The number of queries that your plugin makes can affect its performance.  We don&#8217;t care how cool your plugin is &#8212; if it uses 10 MySQL queries on every page, it&#8217;s not going in.  You should work to minimize these queries as much as possible.  Other performance issues like the efficiency of your PHP code should be taken into consideration as well.</p>\n<h3>Use existing WordPress data structures whenever possible</h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t create your own tables unless you&#8217;re absolutely certain there is no way to accomplish your functionality within the WordPress data system.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to go into more detail on these topics at a later date.  Maybe even with screencasts, which seem to be a great way of demonstrating these sorts of things.</p>\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/categories/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\" /> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/tags/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\" /> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/markjaquith.wordpress.com/155/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=markjaquith.wordpress.com&blog=316&post=155&subd=markjaquith&ref=&feed=1\" /></div>\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:00:44 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:12:\"Mark Jaquith\";}s:7:\"summary\";s:4465:\"<div class=\"snap_preview\"><br /><p>The <a href=\"http://b5media.com/\">b5media</a> tech team was having a discussion today about what criteria we use when reviewing a WordPress plugin for possible inclusion on one of our sites or across our network.

The first place that we look for releases is the <a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/\">WLTC News Forum</a> and in this post I&#8217;ll try to cover some of the points that you should keep in mind to facilitate your listing.</p>\n<h4>1. Post in the appropriate category</h4>\n<p>The forum has been divided into several categories for different content. The two primary categories that you should be looking at are the <a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/forum/new-wordpress-plugins\">New Wordpress Plugins</a> category and the <a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/forum/new-wordpress-themes\">New Wordpress Themes</a> category for plugins and themes respectively. We also have a <a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/forum/premium-wordpress-themes\">Premium WordPress Themes</a> category for those themes which require payment to use.</p>\n<h4>2. Writing your post</h4>\n<p>This is the most important part of the process. Remember that the key to attracting a user to visit your plugin or theme page is a good detailed description. I, for one, would like to gather as much information about the plugin or theme from the post. Browsing to your site and then making a search for the right post / page is a big big no no!</p>\n<p>Plugin Authors should ensure the following is present in the post.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Plugin Name</strong>: short forms are OK, however the full form of the name is ideal</li>\n<li><strong>Plugin URL</strong>: This should be the direct url to the plugin page and not your site. Ideally keep a separate page for each plugin. It provides for a single interface to interact with users, as well helps in SEO.</li>\n<li><strong>Description</strong>: Let me iterate; provide a detailed description. Mention what exactly your plugin does. Elaborate on some of the features that the plugin has. Ask for suggestions. State what plans you have for the future of the plugin. Optionally, add information on installing and using the plugin. This information should also be present on the plugin page on your site.</li>\n<li><strong>License</strong></li>\n</ol>\n<p>Theme Authors should ensure the following is present in the post.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Theme Name</strong>: same rule to follow as that of plugin authors above</li>\n<li><strong>Theme URL</strong>: Once again, link to the url of the theme page. Putting several themes on a single page only serves as a distraction to a person looking for that specific theme.</li>\n<li><strong>Description</strong>: A detailed description for the theme should come here. Mention if your theme is widget ready, or if supports gravatars. Does it have an options page? Is it a one, two or three column theme? What colors is it available in? Is the header customizable?</li>\n<li><strong>Demo URL</strong>: Every theme should have a demo for a user to see what their site will look like. It is a pain to download and install a theme to check if it looks good, only to find that this is not the case.</li>\n<li><strong>Screenshot</strong>: This is optional but again highly recommended. A screenshot is the first view that a potential user sees.</li>\n<li><strong>License</strong></li>\n</ol>\n<p>The points I have made above are not just pertaining to our News forum. In fact this should something that you should follow strictly whenever you are looking to get listed at any site announcing releases.</p>\n<h4>3. Other methods to inform us about your release</h4>\n<p>The News forum is the preferred method to bring your creation to our attention. Not only does it bring your theme / plugin to our attention but it also ensures that you reach out to our regular readers even before our daily release posts.</p>\n<p>You could also use the <a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/contact-me/\">contact form</a> to inform us about the release. However, this is a much slower method to get listed. Remember to provide as many details as you would if you were to make a post in the News forum.
