Recently, I have been trying to upgrade my Wordpress themes to be WP2.7 compatitable, but found it extremely annoying, frustrating and hard to do so. (Perhaps I need to work on my programming skills?)

WP2.7 introduces the completely new comment loop, and tonnes of new features, such as nested posts, different styles for author replies, etc. This has (at last in my opinion) given theme authors a huge headache. The list of changes is HUGE, and it is located here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Plugins_and_Themes_to_2.7

Anyway, I need to work on my theme now. Give me some time to figure this thing out, and I shall be able to help you guys =)

The Wordprses team has just released the final version of Wordpress 2.7! While I think it is more of a WP 3.0, but they said they didn’t want to skip version codes. Oh well, as long as it is improved, it’s fine with me =P.

TechCube will be upgrading to Wordpress 2.7 today, and give you a full review by tomorrow. We are sorry about the inconvieniences caused.

Kudos to the Wordpress team!

Wow, let’s congratulate the Wordpress team for releasing the RC2 version of Wordpress 2.7. They are one big step closer than the final version of it!

Basically an RC means if there are no bugs or only little bugs found, the next release will be Final. Matt’s words clearly stated that “We feel this release is pretty much exactly what we’re going to ship as 2.7, barring any final bugs or polish tweaks that you report or we find.” So, I say there will be only one more week. What do you think?

I believe you are just as excited as I am. This time, there are 160 changes being made, and let’s all hope WP 2.7 final will be out soon =)

You can download it here: http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.7-beta3.zip, but of course, as always, we do not recommend you to use this in live production, but only for testing purposes only =)

Here is the original post of WP 2.7’s announcement: http://wordpress.org/development/2008/11/wordpress-27-beta-3/

The Wordpress team has just released yet another blog post about their developmoent on Wordpress 2.7. This time it is about a poll on the project icons. Just a little bit before, they have called for a competitions for all the icon designers to join and submit their iconset. And here they are the finalists, and the fate of these icons are on our hands.

I have quickly glanced through the poll and found some interesting icons. Vote for your favorite icons today!

The poster also mentioned that they will be getting close to Beta3, but still having some IE6 issues =(. Aww, well, wish them the best and hope 2.7 comes out soon!
