Moving Bits
PostBits development is moving along. My initial goal is to release the plugin with at least the same functionality as Cricket Moods. I’m not too far from that goal, but I need to take a break for college work.
Cricket Moods 3.7
Cricket Moods 3.7 is officially tagged. It has been 13 months since the previous release. That’s quite a development cycle, there.
This release primarily fixes compatibility with WordPress 2.6. It includes some really old changes for WPMU compatibility that I can’t guarantee still work. The bottom line: if you want to use Cricket Moods with WordPress 2.6, get this new version.
Pinwhat?
I have found that I enjoy the music performed by Pinback. I also like the artwork on their website.
Cricket Moods and 2.6
About a month ago Alex King discovered an “undocumented feature”1 in WordPress 2.6 that affects plugins like Cricket Moods. The bug causes post metadata to be duplicated due to the addition of post revisions. Basically, with every new revision you’ll get a duplicate set of moods.
I have hopefully fixed the issue in the 3.x branch of Cricket Moods. I haven’t tagged a new 3.7 release of Cricket Moods because, frankly, I don’t know if these changes break anything. I tested the changes on one Blog running WordPress 2.6. So, before I tag and zip up a release, it’d be great if some folk2 could test the new plugin. Grab the file from the Subversion repository.
To fix any old duplicated moods, remove all moods from the affected post, save the post, add the moods again, and save the post.
Stalling and sputtering
The development of PostBits has stalled. I apologize to anyone still holding their breath in anticipation. I recommend exhaling.
As I mentioned in my previous post on the subject, the core functionality of the plugin is finished. That’s all well and good if you like to hammer on your database by hand to get things done, but not so good for most people. Read the rest of this entry »
