In my last post about release of WordPress 2.5, I mention that it’s impossible for the development team to release the version on the scheduled date as there were still so many issues are not resolved.
John Havlik quite rightly points out the main reasons for delay and I could not disagree with him. There are a good number of tickets were moved to 2.6 as there was no patch or developer assigned to them.
Matt released a Screencast and WordPress 2.5 RC2 covering the new dashboard and uploader and Release Candidate 2.
Also looking at Milestone 2.5 its seems the development team decided that it would be good idea they would release 2.5 after most of us have expired by setting the due date to 22 years in future. But little clue that suggest that it may be released on the April 1st, but hey they are just playing April Fool on us all.

There is a lot of good work being done by the development team. I have been monitoring the changes using CommitMonitor and also looking at the Wordpress Milestone 2.5. But from what I can see even though all this updates are coming its going to be a tough given that the deadline has been moved twice (once because 2.4 was never released | WordPress 2.5 Delayed a Week) now. Not to mention there are over 400 Active tickets as I am writing this.
I wish the developers good luck in getting it done in the next 6 says. But I am not hopeful that they will be ready for to release it by then.
According to lorelle “Indeed, WordPress 2.4 has now been removed from the WordPress Roadmap, and WordPress 2.5 is still scheduled for March 24, 2008″. Now that seems more positive and reasonable to me.

WordPress 2.3 “Dexter” released was about 5 hours ago. I have been using the release candidate for a while.. and just logged in now to and I got alert asking me to upgrade.
I like the way it notifies me of new version, having clicked on the link it takes me to download page. Only if it was able to check for all the problem and give me a report to see if I’ll have any problem in upgrading and effectively allow me to upgrade to new version without having to download it.
I have been following the SVN version for a while as I have building my own theme and wanted to make sure it will work with this version. The new Tags feature means I’ll have to fix my theme before I can upgrade. Further to my list of new features; here is a good list of other features. Having read Andrew’s post it seems Robin and others have already upgraded to new version before the official announcement.

Since reading Nick’s entry on Loading Javascript Libraries in Wordpress Plugins, I have decided to use the same techniques to get my custom Theme to load JavaScript using wp_enqueue_script().
There is two reasons why I wanted to load my custom JavaScript libraries:
As this is a custom theme I have a functions.php where I have defined all my custom functions. So to load the custom JavaScript.
< ? php
function my_add_js_libs() {
//Add the jquery framework to the header
//wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); // default jquery is not up-to-date
//wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src = false, $deps = array(), $ver = false );
wp_enqueue_script('my_jquery', $src = '/wp-content/themes/[mythemename]/js/jquery-1.2.1.pack.js’, $deps = array(), $ver = ‘1.2.1′ );
wp_enqueue_script(’my_core_js’, $src = ‘/wp-content/themes/[mythemename]/js/core.js’, $deps = array(’my_jquery’));
}
? >
then make a call to the function in the header.php just before the wp_head();
< ? php
my_add_js_libs();
wp_head();
? >
This should now load the custom JavaScript Libraries required for your themes in the sequence that WordPress decides.
