Ella is not the latest stable release.
I think. I’m referring to WordPress 2.1 and as I was preparing the write-up for a theme I’m currently developing, I decided to check out the release archives of WordPress. What I saw there surprised me. There is a 2.0.8 version of WordPress. I’m currently running on 2.0.7, and 2.1 is still too soon for me. What caught me off-guard was that there were no announcements from WordPress about 2.0.8. Not even in the Dashboard of my Administration Panel.
What I want to know is, is this an emergency release? Are there any new features or bugfixes that would prevent any vulnerable insecurities in 2.0.7? Do I have to upgrade to 2.0.8? No word yet from the developers as of this writing though. I’ve searched the codex and the forums but there seems to be an absence of posts or comments about 2.0.8.
About the theme mentioned above, it’s currently tested to work properly with 2.0.7. If 2.0.8 is released and there are major differences, the theme will be obsolete since it requires a plugin that has known compatibility issues with Ella. I sure hope 2.0.8 doesn’t have any security fixes or I’m going to have to re-modify the plugin again.
*Keeps fingers crossed*
Yep. I have yet to do some bug-hunting for this theme. Unfortunately, I have not that much time left in my hands right now. Gotta take care of the baby. Oh well, the year’s not yet finished anyway.
Also, I just found out that this awesome theme that you are using isn’t 2.1 ready.
I know. I just researched the roadmap of the development. You can check it out here: http://trac.wordpress.org/roadmap and it shows it’s already delayed in the release. I wonder…
Actually, it has been mentioned that 2.0 series would be continuously maintained and developed.
But maybe since Ella is really the “most stable” release, they didn’t bother to announce about 2.0.8.
Can’t imagine what fuss 2.2 will create on April. *sighs*
