Upgrades All Around to WordPress 2.3.2. What Happened to WordPress 2.4?

posted by nick on January 7th, 2008

It doesn't seem that long ago that we upgraded everything to WordPress 2.3.1 and here we are updating to WordPress 2.3.2. Some important security vulnerabilities were fixed in this release, so if you haven't, I'd recommend an upgrade. From the WordPress blog:

WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations.

Anxiously Awaiting WordPress 2.4

Well, I'll have to wait longer than anticipated, especially since the release of WordPress 2.4 has been totally scrapped and now the focus is on WordPress 2.5. From the update sent to the wp-hackers distribution list...

In light of the big changes happening in the codebase and admin section, we're going to push back the next release to be aimed for early March.

This is the timeframe when 2.5 was originally schedule for, so we're treating the originally planned 2.4 in December as a skipped release, as a result of both the holidays and the large changes which we weren't able to start on until late October.

There's some good stuff in the oven, and we don't want to rush it.

According to the WordPress release roadmap, the original release estimate was January 24, 2008 for 2.4. This states early March for the 2.5 release even though the roadmap has it as April 1, 2008 for the release [insert April Fools Joke here]. Personally I can't wait for the updated admin interface and widget-based dashboard.
