All your blog are belong to WordPress 2.0

The only WordPress file changes in the current svn is the versions.php. :P

[~]# svn up
U wp-includes/version.php

Fetching external item into 'wp-content/plugins/akismet'
Updated external to revision 4252.

Updated to revision 3363.
[~]# cat wp-includes/version.php
<?php

// This just holds the version number, in a separate file so we can bump it without
cluttering the SVN

$wp_version = '2.0';
$wp_db_version = 3308;

?>
[~]#

Not forgetting that the WordPress.org website have a brand new face. Since I’ve been using WordPress nightly build from the beginning, so the current 2.0 changes are not that big of a deal. In the other hand, upgrading WordPress is not fun since its only takes less than 1 minute.

Added: Just a quick note to all “new” WordPress 2.0 users. I believe that you probably should switch off the tinyMCE visual rich editor for writing. Since the editor seems to be broken again. In some cases, it will destroy your posting if you are a pro copy paste blogger. To switch off the visual editor, go to Admin panel> Users. Then scroll down, find Personal Options. Untick the “Use the visual rich editor when writing”.

But if there any chances that you are multiuser blogging, you can disable it globally. Go to Admin Panel> Options> Writing. At the writing option formatting, untick “Users should use the visual rich editor by default”.

UPDATE: I can’t believe no one notice this bug. Is it because it wasn’t submitted to WordPress Trac? I try to gain some confirmation from the wp-testers mailing list, but they seems to be ignoring my email. I’m quoting my email to the list.

Hi,

I just need some confirmation regarding comment counter.

Delete a comment from manage>comments>Mass Edit Mode, tick one comment then
Delete Checked Comments. Go to the post that the comment belongs to and see
whether the Comment counter(comments_number) is updated or not.

Thanks for your time.

The visual editor is broken. Thanks for the tips how to disable it.

Hi!
Regarding the comment counter after deleting via mass edit mode >> delete checked comments, same here, the count does not gets updated (until a new comment is published in that post)!!!!.

I haven’t been able to find a fix to this, do you have one already? I will really appreciate it. (If I manage to find one, I will post it here).

Thanks for your time, and best regards.

Haplo, if there’s any chance you’re using Paged Comment Editing plugin then today is your lucky day.

Haplo

Ah! most excellent! I indeed use the paged comment editing plugin :) so piece of cake.

But, anyway, I’m going to try later today a downgrade to wp1.5.2… there are things in 2.0 I really don’t like, for example, everytime you publish a new post, or even edit one, the table ‘postmeta’ gets a new value (_encloseme) under ‘meta_key’ assigned to that post. So if you edit several times a post (wich is very common) you get SEVERAL of that same ‘_encloseme’ thing in that table assigned to the same post. Weird.
Probably it’s nothing, but I don’t like WP doing things that

  1. I don’t quite understand
  2. I see no need for it.

And I haven’t been able to find any info on this.

Anyhow, thank you very much for the info! >I get signal.>
