I’ve seen a number of people tell others that WordPress 2.5 will have little to no database schema changes. It looks like that is no longer the case as MichaelH has pointed out.
Changes to database schema from Version 2.3 to 2.5.
*Table: comments
Changed ‘comment_approved’ to varchar(20) NOT NULL default ‘1′
Added KEY ‘comment_approved_date_gmt’ (comment_approved, comment_date_gmt)
Added KEY ‘comment_date_gmt’ (comment_date_gmt)
*Table: links
Changed ‘link_visible’ to varchar(20) NOT NULL default ‘Y’
*Table: options
Changed ‘autoload’ to varchar(20) NOT NULL default ‘yes’
*Table: posts
Changed ‘post_status’ to varchar(20) NOT NULL default ‘publish’
Changed ‘comment_status’ to varchar(20) NOT NULL default ‘open’
Changed ‘ping_status’ to varchar(20) NOT NULL default ‘open’
*Table: term_relationships
Added ‘term_order’ int(11) NOT NULL default 0
Thanks to MichaelH for putting these changes together. This information is especially useful to plugin and theme authors as it lets them know if their particular project will break.

Over the weekend, I caught a glimpse of what was supposedly a new design for the WordPress Themes Repository. As was explained by Steven Hodson, the screen shots were taken from his browser when he visited the theme repository. The screen shots showcase a carousel view for browsing through […] Continue Reading…

Tony Scott has published an entry on his blog entitled WordCamp UK proposal. Inspired by WordCamp Dallas, Tony is looking at quite possibly holding the first ever WordCamp within the UK. His blog post will serve as a gauge of interest. So far, the topics of discussion regarding this event center around:
Format: A little more structured, such as WordCamp Dallas 2008, or more BarCamp, as WordCamp Hamburg?
Size: Number of attendees?
Location: London or other city? Take into account travelling and accommodation.
Sponsorship: Would be good to subsidize the event!
If you would like to participate in or help organize the event, be sure to stop by Tony’s blog and leave a comment.

WordPress 2.5 and the Object Cache: This comprehensive article by Neosmart discusses the caching changes that are going into place with WordPress 2.5. The article has very pertinent links, explains the use and application of the various types of object caches in WordPress and how they are being changed and improved in this new version. I will not steal Neosmart’s thunder by revealing much here, but if you are interested in understanding the nuances, history and best practices of caching in WordPress (primarily Object Caching), head over to the link above.
Worthy of mentioning however, is that I have never used any type of caching on this blog beside the occasional testing of code and plugins. I love the dynamic nature of the content that I help create and I cherish the highly dynamic nature of WordPress. That is one of the properties of this excellent tool that attracted me to […]

Over the weekend, I caught a glimpse of what was supposedly a new design for the WordPress Themes Repository. As was explained by Steven Hodson, the screen shots were taken from his browser when he visited the theme repository. The screen shots showcase a carousel view for browsing through themes, icons for navigating and downloading themes, a single page view which displays detailed information regarding the theme ect. No matter how hard I and many others tried, we couldn’t get the theme repository to display in the same way that it did for Steve.
Lloyd Budd stopped by my blog post and left this as the comment:
Hi Jeff, those screen shots are fake. I’m 100% certain. I just checked and there isn’t any code, nor has there been, to produce that type of experience.
I’ve been subscribed to Steve’s blog for quite some time and he is not one to post fake […]

WordPress Development Blog: 2.5 Sneak Peek I love the staccato description Matt uses to start the post: A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting? The first Release Candidate for WordPress 2.5 is out for those that have been waiting patiently to try out the new features. Matt details out the updates and the new features of 2.5 on the development blog and the good news is spreading in the WordPress circles.
In addition to many underlying changes and updates to the code, the administration back end of WordPress gets a major rework in this version. The release candidate is not for everyone and can be downloaded for testing and bug searching.
If you make frequent backups and you’re interested in helping us out with development by testing the new code, download and install Release Candidate 1 […]
