In our second cycle, the primary focus was CRUDCRUD Create, read, update and delete, the four basic functions of storing data. (More on Wikipedia.) methods for taxonomies. The work was tracked in #18438, and covers both the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. implementation and the unit tests.

We also spent more time refining the cycle 1 work (CRUD for all post types), tracked in #18429. This included fixing some date bugs (related to #15098), adding support for getting/setting post thumbnails (related to #15098), and writing unit tests.

After using the posts methods from cycle 1, it became clear that the post type information methods from #18436 were highly desirable. The old patches on that ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. were updated and aligned with the rest of the XML-RPC work for this release.

westi was not available for much of this cycle, so Marko and I worked on our own; he is now reviewing our final patches and will comment or commit shortly. In the meantime, I’m finishing up work on XML-RPC documentation for the codex, which should be ready by betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process.. Marko and I will also continue to expand the XML-RPC unit tests suite (now around 75 tests).
