WordPress 2.2 Release Fixes
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkMonday, May 14, 2007
WordPress 2.2 is about to be released. Currently the release candidate 2 has the following features:
- PHP 5.2.2 fixes:
- WP importer now works in PHP 5.2.2
- Workaround for PHP 5.2.2 bug that breaks XMLRPC
- Fixed fatal error in cache.php by flushing output buffers during shutdown.
- The archives widget is fixed so the show count option works for dropdowns
- TinyMCE is now enabled for Safari Webkit 420 and above
- Blogroll importing with local file is not working
- Minor javascript fix in widgets admin
- Akismet now fully localizable
- Fixed wrong server protocol for HTTP 1.0 requests resulting in uninterpreted chunked encoding
I looked at all the changes. It looks like it should be a non-brainer upgrade primarily targeted at fixing errors with PHP 5.2.2. It just might be the time for me and others to switch from 2.0.x codebase too. 2.2 appears to have ironed out most of the defects in 2.1 codebase.
BTW: All my plugins including Translator Plugin Pro works fine in the 2.1 / 2.2 codebase.
