WordPress 2.6.1-beta1

Stumble It!

I’m surprised that I haven’t seen mention of this from other channels yet (official or unofficial), but two days ago, SVN revision 8561 of the WordPress 2.6 branch was labled as WordPress version 2.6.1-beta1. The log messages reveal that most changes since the 2.6 release are minor bug and typo fixes. A few of the more interesting bits that jump out at me are:

  • Allow disabling password reset per-user.
  • Query functions now allow a comma-separated list of post_status values.
  • Several more link generation bits are made SSL-aware.
  • Advertise the Atom 1.0 feed in the default theme.
  • Atom API uses the newer WP authentication functions.
  • Fix for an object caching bug in plugin updates.
Stumble It!

    Segun nos informa Dongal Campbell hace 2 dias especificamente en la revision SVN 8561 de WordPress 2.6 branch fue editado la version a 2.6.1-alpha a 2.6.1-beta1 aunque no hay ningun anuncio oficial solo cuestion de esperar.

    Sounds like they came up with a few things to whet the appetite until 2.7 is released. Thanks for letting us it know the beta is out.
