    Greets all!

    So, I've been crazy busy since I got my new laptop, catching up with emails and fixing a couple of issues that Mike brought to me.

    On the top of my head, here's what's coming up in the new release:

    • WP 2.3.3
    • docs api problem with utf-8 should be fixed
    • newsletter form acknowledges correctly upon subscribing via aweber without a thank you page
    • Drew's clone problem is resolved (this could use some testing on a few other sites)
    • menu order bug is fixed
    • docs getting slashed with version changes is fixed (nb: 5.0.1 users will need to upgrade)
    • css issues are fixed (image padding)
    • upgrader trims ftp:// when it's inserted
    • fuzzy comments works as expected
    • latest simple tags is in Sem Pro
    • extended comments options is fixed

    a couple of items I'm aware of and that won't make it in this release:

    • new comments won't send an email on some sites (unless George gets back to me)
    • 20 text widgets instead of 10 (we need to hack several files to make it happen)
    • possible mediacaster issues (the ones I've monitored so far were in fact related to the use of video controls within the flv files)
    • category order (we'll add it back if/when it gets fixed, and this would require some extensive testing when we do)
    • switch to ga.js instead of urchin.js for google analytics
    • Henrik's wp-cache issue, but this is in fact server-related

    Now, I've yet to catch up with forum threads -- if you're reading them regularly and are aware of something that might be a bug I should be looking into before releasing this security update, please post a follow-up immediately. If nothing creeps up by 6pm my time (about an hour from now), I'll put up an RC.

    Thanks in advance!

    Denis

    Denis, thank you.
    Also - about "pinging".
    It is enabled - but I don't see any ping.log files in my wp-* directories.
    I have suspicion it is not happening. For WordPress-based software I'd love to have it fixed.

    pings are working fine -- it's just logging that is not working

    RC coming up in a few minutes. I'm leaving this thread open nonetheless, in case something of immediate interest creeps up for the next release.

    Denis,

    I just emailed a few forum threads that might need to make it into 5.0.2.

    I'll check them out tomorrow morning, but I suspect most will merely get bumped to the 5.0.3 todo list. I'm sincerely too pooped up to go through any more of this for today, and the security fix related to WP 2.3.3 is nasty enough to mandate a release without fixing everything up alongside.

    there also is WordPress Trac: Ticket #5747 (Cannot select text in text widget), which I'm monitoring and which is slated for WP 2.3.4.

    Hi Denis welcome back,

    Maybe this error message I have been receiving since upgrading to 5.0 can get looked into.

    PHP Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: snoopy in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-trackback-validation.php on line 158

    Thanks

    @Paul: please reupload the php files in wp-includes, you probably have a zero length file in there. class-snoopy.php in particular.
