Forget About WordPress 2.4
January 4, 2008
Welcome to BloggingNotes. You may want to subscribe to my full text RSS feed. This message will only appear once. Thanks for visiting!
According to the Weblog Tools Collection, the decision has been made to cease all work on WordPress 2.4, which was scheduled to be released in about 3 weeks, and focus development on version 2.5, which should be released in March. This is “because of the holidays and the amount of changes that will take place in the codebase as well as the admin section”, according to the site.
Well, I guess I’m going to have to scrub plans to post about the upcoming changes due in 2.4 and work on getting information on what’s going in to 2.5. Ah well, not much I can do about it, and complaining won’t change anything.
So now you know.

It’s probably better than 2.4 was postponed. From what I could tell in several online forums, many plugin designers weren’t happy with some of the changes under the hood. The plugins they had designed for 2.0 would work up until 2.2. Then there was a change to some plugins which only worked until 2.3. Then there were going to be some more database and API changes in 2.4. The inconsistencies in different versions were starting to cause some headaches with the community, and this postponement might actually be due to the coming API changes that we’ll see in 2.5.
A foundation can only be modified so many times before people stop writing extensions for it. Heck, because of this, I’m still using an older version of the software. Any bugs or security problems that are reported I can usually fix on my own

I know a lot of people were less than thrilled with the upcoming changes to the admin interface, but hadn’t really heard about any issues with plug-ins.
I agree that you can’t get too out of hand with changes to a platform because eventually those who write for it will abandon it for something a little more stable or predictable.
