On Wednesday, while I was cleaning up some WordPress 282 details I took a little bit of time and also upgraded the Random posts plugin and Scheduled posts plugin for WordPress.
These new upgrades allow me to make the most of a common admin interface for all my plugins as well as checking for news related to the plugins straight from the admin panel of the WordPress plugin.
There’s a great video of Matt Mullenweg going over the new feature set of WordPress 2.7. Some of the highlights include a lot of great attention being paid to the admin interface, a new comments API, easier plugin management (in browser installation) as well as hot keys. WP 2.7 looks like it’ll be the upgrade a lot of us have been hoping for and it will be out for November.
On another Matt related post, there’s a funny post called Matt Mullenweg: Wordpress Evangelist/Rock Star I just finished reading. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised in Matt turns out to be the next Steve Jobs. He’s likable and straight shooting but more importantly, he’s also surprising committed to quality.
Here’s looking forward to 2.7!
