Accidentally bump into this WordPress 2.8 page on WordPress Codex. The wording seems to imply WordPress is getting ready to release 2.8 sometime in May.
On May xxth, 2009, WordPress Version 2.8,
named for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, will be released to the public. For more
information on this enhancement and bug-fix release, read the Development Blog and see the Changelog for 2.8.

Finally got around to update AdAdvantage to the latest K2 nightly build (k2-1.0-RC7.3-revision-778). This just fixed the layout problem which has existed since the last post.
There had been numerous changes in the K2 code since my last sync with it. I would say the code actually got much better organized. This makes syncing and maintaining the code to AdAdvantage easier.
There are some interesting development in the header and footer blocks and hooks. When I have some time, I like to take a look at how to make use of those.
Otherwise, things seems to “just works”, after the update which is great. The code changes is already in Google Code svn. Will be letting the theme run here for a while before making a package and publishing to Google Code.
Updating to WordPress 2.7.1 seems to have broken my layout. Please bare with me while I try to fix it.
Broken layout aside, I am very impressed with the auto-upgrade feature in WordPress. It just downloads the file can upgrade the site and database in place. Amazing! A very big congratulation to the WordPress team for this excellent work.
Now, if only there is backup and roll back feature. Would that be too much to ask?
This blog is running the latest update to AdAdvantage. It is probably the most exciting update so far with many ideas that I long wanted to do accomplished.
Among the new additions: Continue reading ‘Sneak preview of AdAdvantage R8.0′
I had updated this blog to WordPress 2.7 and the latest K2 nightly. While overall looks fine (the WordPress and K2 developers did a great job of backward compatibility), there are still seems to be some minor problem in K2, so I’m waiting for more upstream update before releasing a new package of AdAdvantage.
If you are intrepid, check out the code from the svn.
