Wordpress 2.7

The latest release of Wordpress 2.7 really should be 3.0. The changes to the dashboard alone would warrant a major release, IMHO. With the amount of plugin breakage, I don’t know why the plugin developers have not as of yet, released new versions of their plugins. The betas and RC’s have been out long enough for them to either issue a warning or an update.

The good thing is Chris Pirillo’s Wicketpixie Social Media Theme is unaffected, so far.

Breakage:

WPtouch iPhone theme
CSS greyscape
Ozh Admin Management Menus
WP ustream

Thanks for the headsup people. All in all, a nice update. As the dashboard now has a drag and drop arrangement and the ability to remove anything you don’t need to have on it. In fact, even the post page has it. Nice touch. Again, the plugin people need to update their plugins to take advantage of this. I still haven’t seen a way to remove the drafts that are auto saved. Since the database is where they are stored, I really would like an easy way to remove them in bulk. If you know, if, where this ability is, let me know.

Update: The WicketPixie Theme Faves and Sources no longer work.  It’s reading the db tables, just won’t write to them.  Weird.
