  WordPress Core Weekly 

  Hello everyone, let’s have a look at what’s going on in WordPress core! This edition covers February 19th, 2015 [31479] through February 25th, 2015 [31544].

  If you want to write the next WordPress Core Weekly summary, check out the table over at make/docs and get in touch in the #core-weekly-update Slack channel.

  Customize

  • Make sure WP_Customize_Manager::theme() never returns null. [31536] #31445
  • Add theme browsing and theme switching to the Customizer. Brings into core the Customizer Theme Switcher feature plugin. You can now browse, preview, and activate themes right from the Customizer [31533] #31303

  Accessibility

  • Provide proper label associations and descriptions throughout the network admin [31517] #38406
  • Add missing labels to Archives and Categories dropdown widgets. [31520] #18650

  Press This

  • JSON encode the URL before appending it to the bookmarklet. See #31373. [31537] #31373
  • Hard-code the minified bookmarklet js. Adding the non-minified bookmarklet to the browser bookmarks bar may have unexpected effect. #31373
  • PressThis v2, first run. [31534] #31373

  Taxonomy

  • Add orderby=description support to get_terms(). This appears as a sortable column header. [31532] #31364
  • Pass taxonomy name, not object, to edit_term_taxonomy and edited_term_taxonomy actions. [31525] #30999

  Media

  • Better image-type support checks in image unit tests. PHP can be compiled without support for certain image types. Our unit tests should be sensitive to these configurations. [31510] [31512] #31124
  • Specify globals in media JS files – it is important to denote where we are diverging from dependency injection. [31489] [31491] [31492] [31493] [31494] #28510

  Upgrade/Install,Upgrade/Install

  • Upgrades: Specifically pass the version and locale POST vars through the Core Update FTP credentials form. [31527] [31528] #30245 #31378

  Script Loader

  • Load json2.js only in IE7 and older. [31526] #31276

  Menus

  • Menus: Remove fixed height from .description-thin fields. [31524] #31426
  • Menus: Prevent checkboxes and radio buttons from being stretched to full width on mobile. [31523] #31425

  Themes

  • Use a darker color for “No themes found” message to increase contrast. [31519] #26600
  • Add feedback for screen readers when search results are changed. [31497] #26600
  • Update the theme count when searching for installed themes, like we do on Add Themes screen. [31495] #26600

  Comments

  • Add comment-author-is-site-member class to comment output for site members. [31518] #24054
  • Delegate focusin and focusout events for row actions to make sure the actions are always revealed on focus. [31509] #29765

  Users

  • Multisite: Pass a response code of 200 to wp_die() when a user is successfully added to an individual site after using the /newbloguser/ URL from an invite email. This is a user facing success message. [31514] #31224
  • Multisite: Avoid clearing stored capabilities for a user when removing their built in role in multisite. [31516] #18934
  • When creating a new user, pasting a password should update the password strength indicator. [31483] #31226

  Administration

  • Improve table footer tab sequence by moving <tfoot> after <tbody>. [31513] #30914
  • Dashboard: Add a filter for the query arguments used for the Recent Posts widget. [31508] #29374
  • Quick Edit: Make date fields a bit wider. [31507] #27912
  • Use correct closing tag for “Under the Hood” header on About screen. [31503] #31402

  Plugins

  • Do not activate plugins on initial installation in multisite. Check is_multisite() before activating a plugin that has been installed via AJAX. Without this check, the plugin would be automatically activated on the main site of the network. [31511] #31327

  TinyMCE

  • TinyMCE wpView: don’t insert nested paragraphs when inserting embeddable URLs. [31485] #29526

  Bundled Themes

  • Twenty Fourteen: make twentyfourteen_post_thumbnail() pluggable. [31481] [31482] #31374
  • Update POT file for Twenty Fourteen. [31501] #30972, #30603
  • Revert [30790] and update POT file for Twenty Fifteen. [31500] #30972, #30603

  WordPress Core Weekly 

  Hello everyone, and welcome to this installment of the WP Weekly Roundup! This edition covers February 11th, 2015 [31411] through February 18h, 2015 [31478].

  Right at the top of the list: the release of 4.1.1 rolled out Wednesday. You can read the changelog for full details, but here’s the overview.

  WordPress 4.1.1

  • Tag 4.1.1 [31478]
  • Bump $tinymce_version in the 4.1 branch. [31477]
  • Remove errant string. [31475]
  • About: Add changelog for 4.1.1. [31474]
  • Add SVN eol-style = native where missing. [31471]
  • Add eol-style property and normalize EOLs. [31470]
  • Bump 4.1.1 version numbers & dates. [31431]

  Media

  • Revert [31198] from the 4.1 branch, as it is an incomplete fix that introduces more problems than the tiny issue it was attempting to solve. [31468] #30725
  • Don’t try to read a non-existent Exif:Title tag in wp_read_image_metadata(), as it’s not a part of the Exif standard. [31462] #31043
  • Fix the display of Audio and Video in the Media Library when using IE8 and below. [31444] #31058
  • Prevent IE9 and lower displaying the download file dialogue when attempting to upload using the html4 Plupload handler. [31429] [31430] #31037

  TinyMCE

  • Fire nodeChanged when an embedded iframe is resized so we can adjust the editor height and other UI components. Props iseulde, [31466] #30646
  • Ensure the image toolbar stays visible when the image is much wider than the editor. Merges [31362] to the 4.1 branch. [31437] #30696
  • Select the iframe element by id. Needed as some browser extensions insert extra elements in the page. Merges [31180] to the 4.1 branch. [31436] #30785

  Bundled Themes

  • Update CSS rules for .screen-reader-text to be consistent with current accessibility guidelines. [31464] #31279
  • Remove URLs from reset credits. Closes #30764. [31454] #30764
  • Replace array_shift() with current() for performance. [31453] #31260

  Internals

  • Add inline documentation to clarify the reasoning behind the various conditions that control how WP is loaded. [31463] #30935
  • Improve ‘orderby’ syntax for WP_Comment_Query. [31467] #31045, #30478, #31265
  • Replace hardcoded usage of comment-page with the comment pagination base. [31459] #18084
  • Respect ‘default_option’ filters during early sanity checks in add_option() and update_option(). [31473] #31047
  • Add $expiration as a parameter to the pre_set_transient_{$transient}filter. [31414] #30576
  • Restore PHP 5.2 to Travis CI. [31472] #31244
  • Return a WP_Error if an empty name is provided when registering a post type. [31450] #31134
  • Posts list table: Add a filter to disable the months dropdown. [31438] #30254
  • In paginate_links(), don’t override custom format arguments when setting up default ‘add_args’. [31433] #30831
  • Avoid a PHP Warning when add_args is passed as false to paginate_links(). [31432] #30831

  Customize

  • Remove margin for hidden controls. [31460] #31330
  • Don’t focus new widgets if they are added programmatically. [31428] #31295
  • Escape Customizer links in the admin menu. Fix usage of add_query_arg(). [31427] #30952
  • Restore showing a login form inside the previewer if an user is logged out. Broken since [31370]. [31421] #31294
  • Widgets: Add return param for widgets admin page to the “Manage in Customizer” link. [31420] #30888
  • Improve [31252] to show the move-widget buttons only if there is more than one rendered sidebar. [31419] #30690

  Query

  • More careful type conversion in WP_Query is_*() methods. [31458] #24674
  • Add tests for some of WP_Query‘s sticky post logic. [31439] #27282

  Toolbar

  • Remove title attributes from ‘About WordPress’, ‘Add New’, and ‘My Account’ items. [31456] #31324
  • Add a label for search field on front-end. [31455] #31323
  • Use require_once() to prevent a fatal error if _wp_admin_bar_init() is called twice. [31411] #31287

  General

  • Provide a secondary sort order for wp_get_archives() when type=postbypost. [31452] #30480
  • Update the default admin color scheme for more unity and refinement.
    This removes the red channel from blues and cools the grays a bit for a more cohesive and purposeful color scheme. [31422] #31234

  Taxonomy

  • Return a WP_Error if an empty name is provided when registering a taxonomy. [31449] #31135
  • Split shared taxonomy terms on term update.
    When updating an existing taxonomy term that shares its term_id with another term, we generate a new row in wp_terms and associate the updated term_taxonomy_id with the new term. This separates the terms, such that updating the name of one term does not change the name of any others. #5809

  Networks and Sites

  • Use get_admin_url() to get the correct My Sites URL without calling switch_to_blog() directly. [31448] #31314
  • Create the My Sites URL in the context of a user’s primary site.
    Switch to the user’s primary (or active) site before creating the My Sites URL. This previously linked to the current site’s dashboard, even if a user was not a member of that site. [31445] #31314

  Administration

  • Use correct default values for some admin template functions. [31446] #31308
  • Rename unused argument and remove obsolete global in iframe_header(). [31443] #31309
  • _list_meta_row() should always return a string. [31442] #31310
  • Terminate JS statements in two admin files. [31440] #31311
  • Move the (recently added) .notice admin notices below the first H2, same as the .updated and .error notices. Merges [31023] to the 4.1 branch. [31434] #30885
  • Admin menu: Ensure top level menu item keeps hover color when hovering over or focusing on the submenu. [31424] #31275
  • Introduce a logout_redirect filter so the redirect destination can be changed when a user logs out. [31417] #27617

  Embeds

  • Use RegEx instead of DOMDocumentwhen protecting <pre> tags in WP_oEmbed::_strip_newlines(). It is incredibly difficult to maintain character encoding and whitespace when parsing viaDOMDocument. [31423] #31214
  • After [31415], make sure str_replace() only occurs once for each matched tag to avoid overwriting until <pre>s. [31416] #31214
  • Protect <pre> tags when parsing oEmbed responses in WP_oEmbed::_strip_newlines() in DOMDocument is available. [31415] #31214
  • oEmbed discovery fails on encoded link URLs: decode HTML chars in the HTML-encoded URLs that are returned. [31413] #31213

  Dev Chat Notes

  The merge period for Feature Plugins has opened. The two candidates, Customizer Theme Switcher and the revamped Press This were both approved and will be “shepherded” in over the next week.

  Also discussed were the possible switch in build tools from CSSJanus to RTLCSS (#31332), using the button element for buttons (instead of <a href="#">) and recruiting release leads for 4.3 and 4.4, with a reminder that this isn’t necessarily a developer position.

  Yeah, so, the leads are already thinking about who might lead 4.3 and 4.4. The goal was always to announce these ahead of time, and hopefully see overlap with releases, but if nothing else, the release lead for next major +n can be looking at feature plugins, tracking them, pushing them, etc.

  With 4.3 starting development in less than 3 months, now would be the time to throw your hat into the ring. I think, ideally, there is an announcement before 4.2 hits beta. This wouldn’t be about doing nothing for the next 3 months, but already getting started in terms of laying the groundwork.

  If you are interested in leading a release in 2015, now would be the time to say something. Same if you are interested in helping to lead a release in 2015.

  Tickets needing a look

  These tickets were specifically mentioned by developers looking for assistance or an extra set of eyes:

  • #31218: nav-menu.js menu item added event
  • #27282: WP_Query returns more results when there are sticky posts
  • #17817: do_action/apply_filters/etc. recursion on same filter kills underlying call
  • #31332: RTL CSS generation: Switch from CSSJanus to RTLCSS
  • #23367: Remove message parameters from admin URl’s in the browser address bar
  • #31233: Dismissable admin notices
  • #31251: Show username in wp_dropdown_users when deleting users, not display name
  • #22768: EXIF/IPTC captions should populate caption/post_excerpt on upload, not description/post_content

  WordPress Core Weekly 

  Hi Everyone!

  It’s time for another run-down of what’s going on in WordPress core. This edition covers February 3rd, 2015 [31332] through February 11th, 2015 [31410].

  Quick info: If you’re interested in helping out with these updates, comment below, or ping @mike on Slack! There’s a dedicated #core-weekly-update channel and you can even use a super cool script to parse the logs.

  Without further ado:

  Customizer

  • Improve the Customize experience on mobile. [31384] #28784
  • Introduce an API to create WP_Customize_Settings for dynamically-created settings. [31370] #30936

  Updates

  • Replace $.post() calls with wp.ajax.post(), and clean up a bunch of the now unnecessary code. [31409] #29820
  • Use a positive wording for translations update notice. [31368] #28199
  • If the current user is not allowed to install/update plugins, we should return a JSON error, so it can be used by the JS handlers. [31335] #29820
  • Add capability checks to the ajax callbacks, to ensure the current user is allowed to install/update plugins. [31334] #29820
  • Add ajax-y updates to the plugin list page, and ajax-y updates and installs to the plugin card page. [31333] #29820
  • Updates: Display plugin update rows even for plugins which are not hosted by WordPress.org or the HTTP request times out on. [31382] #29583, #30767

  Embeds

  • oEmbed discovery fails on XHTML head links, adjust the regex to not match /. [31407] #31212

  Media

  • Use Math.round() instead of Math.floor() when determining page of attachments to query in wp.media.model.Query.sync. [31406] #31116
  • After [31386], this needs to happen in audio-video.manifest.js. [31387] #31058
  • Avoid an IE8 JS error when removing a MediaElement player. [31386] #31058
  • Make sure that media/views.js doesn’t load Models that already exist in media/models.js. [31379] #28510
  • Split the media JS files into modules using browserify [31373] [31380] [31393] [31405] #28510

  General

  • Replace generic “Dear user” greeting in email notifications with a more personalized one. [31403] #31217
  • Update body class when switching between admin color schemes. [31400] #30488
  • Avoid inadvertent stomping of the original $args parameter passed to plugins_api_result and themes_api_result filters in plugins_api() andthemes_api(), respectively. [31363] #29079

  Comments

  • Switch to a string placeholder, as number_format_i18n() returns a string. [31402] #26553
  • Use _n() in comments_popup_link() when setting the default string to display if there are more than one comment. [31401] #26553
  • Use screen reader text instead of a title attribute in comments_popup_link. [31388] #26553

  Taxonomy

  • Don’t parse empty tax_input keys in edit_post(). [31392] #30615
  • Remove unnecessary array_shift() usage in get_terms() for better performance. [31365] #31182
  • Parse non-hierarchical tag input into term IDs before sending to wp_insert_post(). [31359] #30615
  • Update the DocBlock for wp_dropdown_categories() to reflect that the entire $args parameter array is optional instead of individual arguments. [31357] #30306
  • Use field-specific sanitization in WP_Tax_Query::transform_query(). [31346] #27810

  Database

  • WPDB: If a site is using the utf8 charset, and their version of MySQL supports utf8mb4, auto-upgrade them to utf8mb4. [31349] [31351] [31354] [31358] [31391] #21212
  • WPDB: The mysqli_query() call in wpdb::set_charset() had the parameters the wrong way around. [31374]

  Users

  • Add orderby=meta_value_num support to WP_User_Query. [31369] #27887
  • Remove leading space from the definition of a global cache group. This only applied in a rare situation during the switch_to_blog() process where no global groups were currently defined. [31348] #31243
  • Add useremail and userslugs as global cache groups. [31347] #31243

  Editor

  • Editor: prevent errors in editor-expand when the Text editor is not used. [31361] #31163
  • Fix displaying long tag names in the Tags postbox. [31332] #18946
  • MCE views: Always refresh the view after updating a gallery. This allows things like caption changes to be synced, as they are tied to the attachment and not the shortcode. [31343] #31239
  • TinyMCE: ensure the image toolbar stays visible when the image is much wider than the editor. [31362] #20696

  Build/Test Tools

  • Update Travis-ci Slack notification token [31352] #30755
  • Temporarily (I hope) remove PHP 5.2 from tests being run on Travis-ci. Travis-ci has disabled PHP 5.2. This has happened before when 5.2 didn’t compile and then was restored when that was fixed. #31244

  Posts & Pages

  • Introduce 'value_field' parameter to wp_dropdown_pages(). This parameter allows developers to choose the post field that will be used to fill in the ‘option’ attribute of the generated dropdown markup. [31338] #30306, #12494
  • Always pass back the custom classes get_post_class() was called with, even if the post was not found. [31408] #22271

  WordPress Core Weekly 

  Hi Everyone!

  It’s time for another run-down of what’s going on in WordPress core. This edition covers January 25th, 2015 [31282] through February 3rd, 2015 [31331]. If you’re interested in helping out with these updates, comment below, or ping @mike on Slack! There’s a dedicated #core-weekly-update channel and you can even use a super cool script to parse the logs. Without further ado:

  Themes

  • Allow version number in the overlay to be selected. [31330] #31205
  • Remove a Chrome workaround that causes theme screenshots to look too crisp and no longer appears to be relevant. [31316] #26584
  • Twenty Fifteen: move RSS icon style rule lower to prevent it from being overridden by other social icon rules. [31283] #31129

  Customizer

  • Ensure that WP_Customize_Setting::value() returns default value for setting if not dirty.
  • Allow WP_Customize_Manager::post_value() to accept a second $default argument.
  • Introduce WP_Customize_Manager::unsanitized_post_values()for accessing previously-private member variable _post_values.
  • Do require_once instead of require for Customizer classes.
  • Add unit tests for WP_Customize_Manager and WP_Customize_Setting. [31329] #28580, #30988

  Script Loader

  • Separate the tests for IE conditional comments support in WP_Scripts. [31317] #16024
  • jQuery UI: Add jquery-ui-core as dependency forjquery-ui-progressbar. [31322] #31208

  Upgrade / Install

  • WP_Upgrader: Remove references to non-existant variables that have never existed. [31327] #29087
  • Remove duplicate label on installation screen. [31282] #31131

  Internals

  • Plugins: Remove an unused parameter on install_plugins_upload(). [31326] #28964
  • Widgets: Add widget_nav_menu_args filter for Custom Menu widget arguments. [31325] #29463
  • Menus: Don’t display “Move” text without direction if there is only one menu item. [31320] #30765
  • HTTP API: Fix an issue where the limit_response_size parameter wasn’t working properly with large documents and the cURL transport. [31290] #31172
  • i18n: Exclude wp-includes/class-pop3.php in wp_frontend() to prevent having 25 unused translations. [31315] #31179
  • i18n: Tabs, not spaces for indentation. [31314]
  • Switch to a 403 response code in places where it is more appropriate than a 500 due to permissions errors. [31300] #30927
  • Update readme recommendations. [31291] #31173

  WP_Query

  • When using WP_Query’s fields => ids (or fields => id=>parent), make sure the returned result is always an array of integers. [31324] #31194, #27252
  • When querying for a specific post, allow posts with a non-public status to be returned as long as that status is specified.
    This makes it possible to, for example, retrieve a specific post using the p parameter of WP_Query, even if the post is in the Trash, by including the post_status=trash parameter. [31321] #29167
  • Improve support for ordering WP_Query results by postmeta.
  • WP_Meta_Query clauses now support a name parameter. [31312] #31045

  Posts

  • In get_sample_permalink(), override future status before generating permalink. [31323] #30910
  • In get_adjacent_post(), return private post if the current user has the capacity to read it. [31302] #30911, #30287

  Taxonomy

  • Introduce show_in_quick_edit parameter + filter for register_taxonomy(). Setting show_in_quick_edit to false when registering a custom taxonomy will hide the taxonomy when editing posts using Quick Edit. [31307] #26948
  • Don’t use term IDs for array indexes when caching object terms. Uncached results pulled from wp_get_object_terms() are zero-indexed (ie 0, 1, 2…). As a result, get_the_terms() was returning a strictly different array when pulling from the cache and when the cache was empty. [31287] #31086
  • Ensure that hierarchical is respected in get_terms() when multiple taxonomies are passed. [31285] #31118
  • Ensure that pad_counts is not discarded when the first of multiple taxonomies passed to get_terms() is non-hierarchical. [31284] #31118

  Media

  • Rename $instances to $instance in wp_audio_shortcode() and wp_video_shortcode() for consistency with gallery_shortcode() and wp_playlist_shortcode(). [31305] #31151
  • Pass the current shortcode instance ID to post_gallery and post_playlist filters. [31304] [31309] #31151

  Build / Test Tools

  • Introduce setExpectedDeprecated() and setExpectedIncorrectUsage() methods to WP_UnitTestCase. [31306] #28486
  • Improve organiation of tax_query and meta_query unit tests. [31286] #26999
  • Add basic unit tests for get_page_of_comment(). [31289] #11334
  • Add unit tests for show_option_all behavior of wp_list_categories(). [31301] #21881
  • Add tests for get_category_parents(). [31299] #30415
  • Add a unit test that expects wp_parse_args() to treat true and false in a query string as strings. [31310] #30753

  Admin

  • Accessibility: remove remaining instances of accesskey. [31331] #29715
  • Help/About: Don’t display the Help tab reference in Page Attributes meta box if Help tab was removed. [31303] #31164
  • Add New User: Remove trailing whitespace from button labels. [31298] #31175
  • Login: Reduce the size of the WordPress logo tap target on log in screen on mobile, to avoid unexpected redirect away from the form. [31318] #31185

  WordPress Core Weekly 

  Hi Everyone!

  It’s that time again: WordPress Core Weekly is here. This is a catchup post and covers all commits since the last post up until 11/9/2014.

  First, a couple quick notes!

  • A large number of Taxonomy changes, listed below, continue the Taxonomy Roadmap.
  • There were a flurry of commits from @wonderboymusic with additional Scrutinizer cleanup, visible at #30224.
  • A huge pass at Unit Test updates and speed optimization landed, primarily from @boonebgorges, @jeremyfelt, and @jorbin. Full details in the log on Trac.
  • Just outside of the scope of this post, the first pass at the Focus feature plugin landed, so go test it out!

  Taxonomies

  • Do not create shared taxonomy terms. [30240] #21950; See #5809.
  • Split shared taxonomy terms during term update. [30238] [30239] [30241] #5809
  • Don’t force child_of=0 for non-hierarchical taxonomies in get_terms(). [30265] #30275
  • In get_adjacent_post(), $excluded_terms should check term_id rather than term_taxonom_id. [30263] #29663, #22112.
  • Allow resource_type to be specified in get_ancestors(). Being explicit about resource type (taxonomy vs post_type) allows for the proper resolution of conflicts when a taxonomy and post_type share a slug. [30141] #15029
  • In wp_insert_term(), clean up accidental duplicate terms after insert. [30238] See #22023, #5809.
  • Add some unit tests for is_object_in_term(). These tests check a number of the ways that different kinds of values for $terms (integers that match term_id, strings that match term_id or name or slug) are handled. [30204] #29467
  • In in_object_in_term(), only check numeric string values against term_id. [30205] #29467
  • Introduce term_template param to get_the_taxonomies() to allow theme and plugin authors to specify the formatting on term links as they are parsed into the taxonomy list. [30209] See #27238.
  • Allow duplicate slugs across different post types. [30158] #18962
  • In get_terms(), do not override hierarchical and pad_count when parent is present. The previous behavior resulted in descendant terms being improperly excluded from the results when passing a parent, even when hierarchical had been set to true. [30107] #29815
  • Clean up get_term_by() caching, fix cache key/group modification that was missed in [30073], and update unit tests. [30108] #21760

  Twenty Fifteen

  • Use new core navigation tags. [30216] #30189
  • Support for title-tag. [30097] #30146
  • Improve support for customizer. [30274] [30275] #29988; [30230] #30164 #29980; [30272] #30165
  • Improve accessibility by clarifying link context #30108 [30208], adding accessible alt text for post thumbnail links. [30231] #30076, and using continue reading links for auto-generated excerpts [30237] #30135.
  • Prevent a flash of visible sub menus before scripts load. [30211] #30056.
  • Detach widgets from the header in mobile views. [30243] #30252
  • Improve Styles for playlists [30213] [30269] #30163, user-selected custom colors [30221] #30234, and image alignment for RTL [30222] #30239, and body class for page templates [30100] #23470.
  • Make sure that the edit link will always be right of its icon. [30215] #30171
  • Add a fallback icon for social links where we don’t have an icon. [30212] #30148
  • Use the new archive template tags and make archive template titling simpler. [30236] #30246

  Database

  • Bump db_version and add upgrade routine for schema change in [30056]. [30121] [30134] #22023
  • WPDB’s __get() function should perform strict comparisons against member names. [30292]

  Revisions

  • Allow revision Backbone classes to be used on pages other than revision.php. [30128] #30221
  • Add a single responsibility function for outputting Revisions JS templates: wp_print_revision_templates(). Use it in wp-admin/revision.php. [30129] #30220
  • Revisions modules should not rely on global settings; only pass in global settings on init, this allows the classes to be used agnostically elsewhere. [30131] #30219

  Metadata

  • Pass all updated meta IDs to filters in update_metadata(). [30140] #11683
  • Unserialize get_metadata() results when key is omitted. [30115] #15030

  Queries

  • Improvements to WP_User_Query [30094] #23849, #27026 and WP_Comment_Query [30098] #12668.
  • Introduced dayofweek_iso time param for WP_Date_Query. [30142] #28063

  Admin

  • Display error message when Media Library upload fails. [30156] [30177] #29891
  • Delete admin_created_user_subject() rather than deprecate. As it was never used as anything more than a callback to a filter before the MU merge, and is only available in user-new.php in multisite, it is safe to remove this function entirely. [30176] #29915

  Customizer

  • Improve/introduce Customizer JavaScript models for Controls, Sections, and Panels, along with a reference. [30102] see #28032, #28579, #28580, #28650, #28709, #29758. Fixes #29529.
  • Improve ColorControl‘s wpColorPicker to update UI based on setting changes. Update Twenty Fifteen’s colorScheme control to properly interact with the API, using wp.customize.control(). [30126] #30031
  • Add stable sorting for panels, sections and controls in JS. Improve sorting in PHP. [30214] #30225
  • Bind input and propertychange events for range input types. [30219] #30223
  • Twenty Fourteen: Make featured content in Customizer contextual to the front page. [30143] #29578

  Templates

  • Introduce new template functions for archive titles and descriptions: [30223] #21995
    • get_the_archive_title() and the_archive_title() for returning/displaying the title of the current term, date, post type, post format, or author archive.
    • get_the_archive_description() and the_archive_description() for returning/displaying the description associated with the current term archive.
  • In get_page_children(), only check $page->ancestors once to avoid duplicates when the function recurses. Adds an argument, $ancestors. [30246] #18962
  • Allow get_pages(), with child_of passed to it, to work with interrupted hierarchies. [30159] #18962

  WordPress Core Weekly 

  Hi everyone!

  It’s this time of the week again: WordPress Core Weekly is here. This updates covers all commits since last week up to to today, October 29th.

  In case you missed it, the new default theme, Twenty Fifteen, is coming along very well, the feature plugins planned for 4.1 are being tested extensively and the Customizer JavaScript API is getting more and more complete.

  But there are many more things going on behind the scenes and Core has even passed revision [30,000]! Let’s have a look at this week:

  Admin

  • Add labels to the Personal Options input fields on the user profile editing screen. [30027] #30101
  • Editor: Use <button> instead of <a> for the Visual/Text buttons, make them focusable. [30002] #27553
  • Customizer: Add the ability for a customizer control to render its controls via a JavaScript template. Switches the default color picker control to a JavaScript template. [30014] #29572

  Themes

  • Twenty Fifteen: If the sidebar is taller than the viewport scroll it with the content, if it’s shorter keep it fixed. [30025] #29979
  • Introduce a new means of outputting a <title> tag in the theme head. Requires a theme to add support by calling add_theme_support( 'title-tag' ). [30074] #18548
  • Introduce some new template functions for navigation [30065] #29808
    • get_the_post_navigation() and the_post_navigation() for navigation to the next and previous post.
    • get_the_posts_navigation() and the_posts_navigation() for navigation to the next and previous page of posts.
    • get_the_pagination() and the_pagination() for paginated navigation between pages of posts.
    • Uses paginate_links(). This reduces the need for themes to define their own sets of navigation functions.

  Internals

  • Deprecate admin_created_user_subject() [30005] #29915
  • Introduce an edit_form_before_permalink action which gets fired after the title field but before the permalink fields. [30028] #29691
  • In wp_link_pages(), only output link separators between actual pagination links. [30030] #24940
  • Rename _wp_password_hint() to _wp_get_password_hint() to bring it inline with core terminology. [30033] #21243
  • Don’t add sticky class in get_post_class() if ignore_sticky_posts query var is set. [30036] #18035
  • Don’t display Standard post format twice in the meta box if the theme unnecessarily mentions it in the add_theme_support() call. [30038] #16555
  • Add comment_reply_link_args filter for get_comment_reply_link() arguments. [30039] #10569
  • Allow slug param of get_terms() to accept an array. [30042] #23636
  • Introduce orderby=include support for get_terms(). [30052] #23261
  • Remove UNIQUE key from slug column of terms table. [30056] #22023
  • Add wp_json_encode(), a wrapper for json_encode() that ensures everything is converted to UTF-8. Change all core calls from json_encode() to wp_json_encode(). [30055] #28786
  • Introduce wp_is_trusted_network(). A first step to establish concepts around trusted and untrusted networks. [30071] #30145
  • Don’t hardcode height for videos – this was a workaround for MediaElement internals causing problems. Responsive videos now work properly and don’t cause extra whitespace. [30082] #30078
  • Introduce some actions and filters which aid plugins in revisioning post meta. [30091] #20564

  Queries

  • Allow ORDER BY in WP_Comment_Query::query() to be disabled. [30004] #29902 DisableORDER BY by passing boolean false, an empty array, or the string none to the orderbyparameter. This mirrors the behavior of WP_Query.
  • Accept orderby=include in WP_User_Query. [30016] #30064 This lets the results of a user query be sorted manually by the value of the include param.
  • Fix count in WP_Comment_Query when using meta_query. [30026] #23369
  • Optimize site query when performing network database upgrades [30029] #30097
  • Improve WP_Tax_Query param sanitization for empty strings. [30031] #30117
  • Support multiple status values in WP_Comment_Query. [30084] #29612

    Previous “Last Week in WordPress Core” posts used to alphabetize the list of contributors and include committers there as well. Is there a reason not to keep doing that?

    Thank you for the post

      The reason is that I haven’t yet got the script @dh-shredder is using to automatically extract the props, so I was listing them chronologically by hand. But yeah, I should’ve listed committers as well.

  • Update on Query Improvements in 4.1
  • Dev Chat Summary, October 15th
  • Twenty Fifteen Chat Summary, October 21

  • HTTP API: Support both the limit_response_size and stream parameters at the same time, allowing a partial file download. [29968] #26726

  Comments

  • Don’t print an empty HTML markup when comment_reply_link() returns no link. [29908] #29895

  WordPress Core Weekly 

  Hi everyone!

  It’s time for WordPress Core Weekly (formerly known as Last Week in WordPress Core) again! There have been suggestions to change the name of these summary posts to stop confusions about being the last week of WordPress.

  This updates covers all commits since last week up to today, October 15th. There has been much progress this week with lots of improvements to the WP_*_Query classes, fixes in the admin and of course the introduction of the Twenty Fifteen theme! The complete summary:

  Admin

  • Add missing labels to category filter dropdowns. [29870] [29871] #29921
  • Differentiate between invalid and missing admin emails when adding a new site [29877] #17890
  • Multisite: Do not send a welcome notification when noconfirmation has been flagged [29880] #16235
  • Admin menu: [29898] #29806
    • Fix pinning after resizing the window.
    • Merge the two DOM ready callbacks in common.js
    • Fix the submenus position adjustment on focus.

  Editor

  • TinyMCE: fix the ‘wpgallery’ plugin to use a placeholder for galleries when either the ‘wpview’ plugin or wp.mce is not loaded. [29883] #28756
  • Quicktags: move focusing the editor after inserting content to the end of the code blocks. [29884] #29944
  • Editor-expand: reset the editor height after the window is resized. [29886] #29952

  Customizer

  • Change instances of “Theme Customizer” to just “Customizer”, as the Customizer isn’t necessarily theme-specific. [29903] #29947
  • Only POST dirty settings to preview to improve performance. [29905] #29983
  • Don’t trigger a change event if two unchanged object values are equal, second pass. [29907] #26061

    • Correctly handle url’s containing url’s in WP_HTTP::make_absolute_url().
    • Correctly support Schemeless URLs in WP_HTTP::make_absolute_url() by respecting the ‘host’ field if present in the relative url.
  • New remove() method and some unit tests for the WP_Error class. @29854 #28092
  • Return an error when adding a term to a non-existent parent. [29867] #29614

    Thanks for the update! Just curious about something here: There was a bit of traffic around the web stating that the JSON REST API might be merged into core for 4.1. Is that off the table now? I have seen that mentioned on this thread at all.

      (typo – I have *not* seen that mentioned in this thread)

      Yes, API is not for 4.1.

  Last Week in WordPress Core 

  Hi Everyone!

  It’s time for Last Week in WordPress Core! This update covers through Sunday, October 5th, and contains many commits from WordCamp Europe. Yay! Things are rolling along well, including first passes on pinning the admin menu, and many fixes to media and image handling. A complete summary is below.

  Name Change?
  It’s been suggested that we change the name of this post to “Core Weekly,” because apparently there has been confusion about this being the last week of WordPress Core, which would just be sad. I like the name idea. Any comments or suggestions?

  Admin

  • First pass at pinning the admin menu on scrolling similarly to how the side metaboxes are pinned on the Edit Post screen. [29835] #29806
  • Add classes to form containers on Edit User and taxonomy screens. [29803] [29804] #29348 #28196
  • Add default z-index to the admin menu, see [29841] #29806
  • Use correct context for “Name” and “Parent” strings on taxonomy screens. Remove unnecessary context for “Slug” and “Description” strings. [29821] #29824
  • When switching to the Text editor, make the textarea visible to screen readers. [29815] #29815
  • Add a default filter to title_save_pre to avoid extra whitespace. [29801] #19904

  Media

  • Account for MEDIA_TRASH in both the Media Grid and Media List Table. [29810] [29811] [29812] #29742
  • Add the date filter from media grid to the media modal. [29813] #28990
  • Add a namespace to the click handler registration for .insert-media in media-editor.js: click.add-media-button to allow devs to override the default behavior. [29802] #23096
  • In wp_delete_attachment(): account for orphan sizes by looping over the sizes stored in metadata, instead of relying on the current sizes stored in $_wp_additional_image_sizes. [29816] #24518
  • For attachment-compat fields, show a spinner while wp.media.model.Attachment.saveCompat() is firing. #27028 [29831]
  • In the admin, give media list table icons auto for width and height. In the post thumbnail metabox, apply width: auto. If someone turns on support SVG files, this will allow them to show up. [29832] #26256
  • Allow PSDs (Photoshop documents) to be uploaded. [29833] #28805
  • Fix setting default quality in WP_Image_Editor. [29834] #29856
  • Pass the requested size to wp_get_attachment_image_attributes filter. [29836] #29869

  Network Admin

  • Don’t display update count for Themes when the user doesn’t have the update_themes cap. [29817] #29651
  • Don’t display update count for Plugins when there aren’t any/count is 0 [29817] #29651
  • Properly check if the theme is active on the main site to avoid deleting it via bulk actions. [29839] #29861

  Plugins

  • In activate_plugin(), do not re-run the activation routine for already-active network-wide plugins. [29818] #28651
  • Avoid a PHP notice in list_plugin_updates() if plugins_api() returned a WP_Error object. [29825] #29583
  • Use correct links for filtering plugin reviews. #29826 [29754]
  • Plugin search: Wrap results in a form to fix pagination’s paged input field. #18724 [29829]
  • Pass the requested size to wp_get_attachment_image_attributes filter. [29836] #29869

  Users

  • In the wp_new_blog_notification() email template, include the login url. [29806] #21089
  • Always sanitize user_nicename in wp_insert_user() to avoid broken author archive permalinks. [29819] #29696

  Comments

  • WP_Comment_Query: comment__in, comment__not_in, post__in, post__not_in. [29808] #25386
  • Add a class attribute for submit button in comment form. [29809] #20446
  • Add an aria-label attribute with commenter’s name to get_comment_reply_link(). [29822] #16433

  Thanks to @afercia, @andg, @andrewryno, @arippberger, @avryl, @azaozz, @bainternet, @boonebgorges, @ccprice, @desrosj, @ericlewis, @georgestephanis, @janhenckens, @jarednova, @jb510, @jbrinley, @jeremyfelt, @jesin, @joedolson, @joemcgill, @JoshuaAbenazer, @karpstrucking, @markoheijnen, @mattheu, @merty, @michalzuber, @mordauk, @nikolov.tmw, @nofearinc, @obenland, @ocean90, @OriginalEXE, @paulwilde, @peterchester, @SergeyBiryukov, and @wonderboymusic for their contributions this week, and to @swissspidy for help in compiling this post.

    As I told you at WCEU, I love these weekly posts!

    “Last Week in WordPress Core” seemed fine to me and made it clear that it was a historical summary of the last week. “Core Weekly” doesn’t convey that as clearly to me as it could just as easily include what is coming up next week or be more of a status than a round up.

    I don’t really care what you call them though as long as they continue and are so wonderfully concise!

      Pretty much what I think too.

      Love these posts, thanks for doing them!

      How about “WordPress Core Weekly” and then always explain exactly what it is in the intro, i.e. this is a summary of recent work in the WordPress Open Source project.

    Heads-up:
    “WP_Comment_Query: commentin, commentnot_in, postin, postnot_in. [29808] #25386″

    Should actually be:
    “WP_Comment_Query: comment__in, comment__not_in, post__in, post__not_in. [29808] #25386″

    It’s just that track thought the underscores were formatting and therefore they vanished. I was just going to rant about keeping things unified(since having postin and post__in would be confusing ).

    Anyhow, keep the updates coming! If I ever manage to get regular time to dedicate to contributing, I might be interested in giving you a hand with the posts.
