Over the past few weeks, I’ve witnessed many discussions throughout the WordPress community pertaining to the version number of WordPress. Many think that because of the reworked user interface and the large number of features that this version (2.7) will contain, this should allow the software to be bumped up to version 3.0
I asked the WP-Testers mailing list to see if I could get a word from either Ryan or Matt to tell me if 2.7 would remain or if it would be bumped up to 3.0. Jane Wells chimed in saying that Matt doesn’t want to skip version numbers anymore, and that there will be ten increments between integers, so 2.9 > 3.0, not 2.9 > 2.10. Yes, 2.7 is a major change, but the numbers are based on timing, not volume or significance of change.

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.
