I am relieved to announce that WordPress 1.2.1 is now available for download. This release addresses a few bugs and minor security issues with 1.2. We’ve also backported the new login system from 1.3 that is much friendlier and should address many of the problems people have had with logging in and cookies. Upgrading Upgrading…
I am very proud to announce the immediate availability of the much-anticipated 1.2 “Mingus” release of WordPress. You can download it through the usual methods, though it usually takes a few hours for the SourceForge mirrors to catch up with everything. There are so many new features it’s almost too much for this post, but…
A few issues came up with the last release candidate that made it important to test out the latest changes in a final beta release. Trust me, I’m as anxious as all of you to get my hands on a final 1.2 but this last bit of testing will help us ensure that the much-anticipated…
As I promised the other day, the first release candidate of WordPress 1.2 is available. It’s available from the usual place. We need a real page for beta releases, not just posts on the dev blog and apache indexed directories, I know. It’s on the list! As always, feedback in the beta forum is appreciated.
Peter Westwood has created a WordPress ebuild for the Gentoo Linux system, like I do. The ebuild currently has some weird dependencies, but that seems be due to some sort of web application framework they’re using. To install WordPress on Gentoo now simply type the following as root: emerge sync; emerge wordpress There is also…
I’m very happy to kick off the 1.2 beta cycle tonight. In many ways version 1.2 represents the largest step forward since the inception of WordPress. It’s been a bit over a month since the last version—1.0.2—was released, but the 1.2 branch has been under development since mid-January. Because of the heavy changes to the…
Thanks to those who wrote in about the https://wordpress.org/latest link going to the old release, that has been fixed now.
We realize that this development blog has been rather quiet lately, but the team has been working hard behind the scenes. As has been mentioned in the support forums, there came a point where we had pretty much gone beyond all of the version 1.1 milestones, so the next official release will be version 1.2.…
The latest WordPress 1.0.1 is now available. This is the fastest, most stable, and most secure WordPress ever.
The release candidate for version 1.0.1 is now available in the usual place. The 1.0.1 release fixes all known issues with 1.0, has several speed and efficiency improvements, more robust XFN support, improved importers all around, and a few other miscellaneous features. To upgrade from 1.0 simply overwrite your old files and run wp-admin/upgrade.php.
I am proud to announce that WordPress 1.0 is now available. As the version number indicates, this is a major step for us and a great deal of effort has gone into it. Search engine friendly permalinks You may now structure your permalinks in a manner that is not only more meaningful, semantic, and "cruft-free,"…
I am very happy to announce that 0.72 is now available. Here are some of the new features: An important security fix Tons of bug fixes Password protected posts Cursor-aware quicktags (like using a fancy text-editor) Improved API support: full or near full support for the Blogger, MetaWeblog, and MT APIs New template design from…
It’s available in the usual place, we need quick feedback on this. This release adds several new features and fixes an important security vulnerability. Unless any major bugs are found, this release will be identical to the final 0.72 release.
Beta 2 is now available. This contains numerous bugfixes, including one to the dreaded convert_char problem. Unless any outstanding bugs are found, this is going to be the official release version. So test it out well.
Please try it out and give us some feedback in the forums. Enjoy! Abbreviated upgrade instructions for the impatient: Upgrading from 0.71 Overwrite your old .71 files, backing up most likely your index.php and any other files you customized. Open up wp-config.sample.php and edit the database information. Then rename that file wp-config.php. Do a happy…

This final beta fixes all known issues and then some. I’m running it on my own site and it’s great. Try it out and report any problems in the beta forums. Thanks!

Beta testers are needed for the .7 release.
