  New version of Akismet plugin released – 2.5.6:

  • blog post: http://blog.akismet.com/2012/04/26/akismet-wordpress-plugin-2-5-6/
  • diff from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6: http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=/akismet/tags/2.5.5&old=&new_path=/akismet/tags/2.5.6&new

  summary from the change log:

  • Prevent retry scheduling problems on sites where wp_cron is misbehaving
  • Preload mshot previews
  • Modernize the widget code
  • Fix a bug where comments were not held for moderation during an error condition
  • Improve the UX and display when comments are temporarily held due to an error
  • Make the Check For Spam button force a retry when comments are held due to an error
  • Handle errors caused by an invalid key
  • Don’t retry comments that are too old
  • Improve error messages when verifying an API key

  I’ll file a ticket to request updating to the 2.5.6 tag.

  Team Update: Bugs-RPC

  Unfortunately nothing happened for us this cycle. Since I will be out for awhile starting in a few days it has been proposed that the two XML-RPC teams be merged together.

    That said, I think the majority of our outstanding tickets are ready to go. I’ll follow up with the rest of the team ASAP.

  Team Update: Bugs-RPC

  Our first cycle closed on Friday. Only three of the original tickets on our list have been committed so far, with others at various steps closer to commit readiness.

  The plan for our second cycle is to continue wrap on our original ticket list. If that completes with time left over we’ll begin adding more test code to @westi‘s new RPC test code.

  Team Update: Bugs-RPC

  Realized this morning that we totally missed our Friday update, so I’m posting it now.

  Went over every ticket on our list for this cycle. All but two (and possibly a third) look commit ready. We’ll have a core dev give those a quick look. If that all passes then I’ll plan on committing them. Beyond that we’ll look at other two or three that need a bit more feedback and try to get them commit ready and in this cycle.

    There are some security flaws in the current RPC server. Are we going to concentrate on that is this release?

      Details should be sent to security@wordpress.org, any legitimate security holes will definitely be dealt with.

    Little note is that the define of the version still matched the previous one.

      Thanks, I’ll get that updated.

    Are you planning to update latest.zip on wp.org? It seems a bit unprofessional not having the latest Akismet on a fresh install.

      Historically WordPress has not issued new releases for updates to the Akismet plugin. I’m not aware of that changing at this point.

  FYI in regards to Akismet as a subversion external.

  Older versions of WordPress used Akismet -trunk as an external. So for active Akismet plugin development we created a -dev directory, to avoid any accidental breakage.

  Current versions of WordPress use a release tag of the Akismet plugin as an external. With that change there isn’t much point in having a -dev for the Akismet WP plugin. This is a heads up for anyone still using Akismet -trunk as an external that it will be used for current development work again. If you don’t want to get those changes you should switch your external to the current release tag (2.5.3):

  http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/akismet/tags/2.5.3

  I don’t think there are many folks left using Akismet -trunk as an external, but I still wanted to update people on the situation.

    No problems here. The timing is right — 3.0.x is no longer maintained, and that’s the last branch before we started pinning Akismet to a tag. And you currently maintain 3.0 compat anyway.

  Some low hanging XML-RPC items for WP 3.2:

  • http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17091
  • http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17094
  • http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16748
  • http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17000
  • http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15238

  Given the short time line for getting 3.2 into beta I picked conservative items.
