We want users to have flexibility when choosing a host for their precious content. Because of this strategy, WordPress runs pretty much anywhere. Web hosting platforms, however, change over time, and we occasionally are able to reevaluate some of the requirements for running WordPress. Now is one of those times. You probably guessed it from the title — we’re finally ready to announce the end of support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4!</p> <p>First up, the announcement that developers really care about. WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support PHP 4.</p> <p>For WordPress 3.2, due in the first half of 2011, we will be raising the minimum required PHP version to 5.2. Why 5.2? Because that’s what the vast majority of WordPress users are using, and it offers substantial improvements over earlier PHP 5 releases. It is also the minimum PHP version that the <a href="http://drupal.org/">Drupal</a> and <a href="http://www.joomla.org/">Joomla</a> projects will be supporting in their next versions, both due out this year.</p> <p>The numbers are now, <em>finally</em>, strongly in favor of this move. Only around 11 percent of WordPress installs are running on a PHP version below 5.2. Many of them are on hosts who support PHP 5.2 — users merely need to change a setting in their hosting control panel to activate it. We believe that percentage will only go down over the rest of the year as hosting providers realize that to support the newest versions of WordPress (or Drupal, or Joomla), they’re going to have to pull the trigger.</p> <p>In less exciting news, we are also going to be dropping support for MySQL 4 after WordPress 3.1. Fewer than 6 percent of WordPress users are running MySQL 4. The new required MySQL version for WordPress 3.2 will be 5.0.15.</p> <p>WordPress users will not be able to upgrade to WordPress 3.2 if their hosting environment does not meet these requirements (the built-in updater will prevent it). In order to determine which versions your host provides, we’ve created the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/health-check/">Health Check plugin</a>. You can download it manually, or use this <a href="http://coveredwebservices.com/wp-plugin-install/?plugin=health-check">handy plugin installation</a> tool I whipped up. Right now, Health Check will only tell you if you’re ready for WordPress 3.2. In a future release it will provide all sorts of useful information about your server and your WordPress install, so hang on to it!</p> <p>In summary: WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support PHP 4 and MySQL 4. WordPress 3.2, due in the first half of 2011, will require PHP 5.2 or higher, and MySQL 5.0.15 or higher. <a href="http://coveredwebservices.com/wp-plugin-install/?plugin=health-check">Install the Health Check plugin</a> to see if you’re ready!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/07/eol-for-php4-and-mysql4/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>100 Million Plugin Downloads and Counting</title> <link>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/07/100-million/</link> <comments>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/07/100-million/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:48:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Andrew Nacin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Community]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Development]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wordpress.org/development/?p=1429</guid> <description><![CDATA[WordPress 3.0 Thelonious passed 3 million downloads yesterday, and today the plugin directory followed suit with a milestone of its own: 100 million downloads.

So we’re taking the next two months to concentrate on improving WordPress.org. A major part of that will be improving the infrastructure of the plugins directory. More than 10,000 plugins are in the directory, every one of them GPL compatible and free as in both beer and speech. Here’s what we have in mind:</p> <p>We want to provide developers the tools they need to build the best possible plugins. We’re going to provide better integration with the forums so you can support your users. We’ll make more statistics available to you so you can analyze your user base, and over time we hope to make it easier for you to manage, build, and release localized plugins.</p> <p>We want to improve how the core software works with your plugin and the plugin directory. We’re going to focus on ensuring seamless upgrades by making the best possible determinations about compatibility, and offer continual improvements to the plugin installer. And we also want to give you a better developer tool set like SVN notifications and improvements to the bug tracker.</p> <p>We’re also going to experiment with other great ideas to help the community help plugin authors. We want it to be easy for you to offer comments to plugin authors and the community, including user reviews and better feedback. We may experiment with an adoption process for abandoned plugins as a way to revitalize hidden gems in the directory. I’m not sure there is a better way to show how extendable WordPress is and how awesome this community is at the same time.</p> <p>As <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2010/06/thelonious/">Matt said in the 3.0 release announcement</a>, our goal isn’t to make everything perfect all at once. But we think incremental improvements can provide us with a great base for 3.1 and beyond, and for the tens of millions of users, and hundreds of millions of plugin downloads to come.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/07/100-million/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Summer of WordCamp</title> <link>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/summer-of-wordcamp/</link> <comments>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/summer-of-wordcamp/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:19:45 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jane Wells</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Community]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WordCamp]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wordpress.org/development/?p=1418</guid> <description><![CDATA[It’s been summer for about a week now.

Whether you’re on vacation or burning the midnight oil, attending a local/nearby <a href="http://wordcamp.org">WordCamp</a> is a great way to spend a weekend. Meet other WordPress users, developers, designers & consultants, learn a little something, maybe share a little of your own experience and knowledge, and break bread (or raise a toast) with new friends and collaborators. Here are the WordCamps scheduled for this summer, along with what I know about them.</p> <p>July 3: <a href="http://wordcamp.de/">WordCamp Germany</a> – Berlin, Germany. I love it that they’re using BuddyPress for their event site. They have multiple tracks, and what looks to be a nice variety of sessions. It’s only a few days away, so if you’re thinking of going, get your tickets now!</p> <p>July 10: <a href="http://2010.boulder.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Boulder</a> – Boulder, Colorado, USA. This was WordCamp Denver last year, but the organizers have decided to mix it up and go back and forth between Denver and Boulder, which also has a thriving tech community. This year the venue is the Boulder Theater (so pretty!), and there will sessions for bloggers and devs alike, plus a Genius Bar to help people get their WordPress sites all fixed up. The speaker lineup looks good, and I hear they’re pumping up the wifi this year. I’ll be there, likely hunched over a notebook with Lisa Sabin-Wilson (author of <em>WordPress for Dummies</em> and <em>BuddyPress for Dummies</em>) to talk about the WordPress User Handbook project, and/or hunched over a sketchbook with Kevin Conboy (designed the new lighter “on” state for admin menus in WordPress 3.0) to work out a new default WordCamp.org theme (using BuddyPress). You can still get tickets!</p> <p>July 17–18: <a href="http://uk.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp UK</a>- Manchester, England, UK. The roving WordCamp UK will be in Manchester this year, and is probably the closest to BarCamp style of all the WordCamps, using a wiki to plan some speakers/sessions and organizing the rest ad-hoc on the first day of the event. I’ll be attending this one as well, and am looking forward to seeing WordPress lead developer Peter Westwood again. I’m also looking forward to meeting some core contributors for the first time in person, like Simon Wheatley and John O’Nolan. Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, is on the organizing team of WordCamp UK. Tickets on sale now!</p> <p>July 24: WordCamp Nigeria – Lagos, Nigeria. Their site seems to have a virus, so no link from here, but if you’re in Nigeria and interested in attending/getting involved, a quick Google search will get you to the organizers.</p> <p>August 7: <a href="http://www.wordcamphouston.com/">WordCamp Houston</a> – Houston, TX, USA. Houston, Texas, birthplace of WordPress! Fittingly, Matt Mullenweg will be there to give the keynote. WordCamp Houston is running three tracks — Business, Blogger and Developer — in recognition of the fact that people who are interested in using WordPress for their business may not actually be bloggers or developers themselves. This used to get labeled as a “CMS” track at previous WordCamps (including NYC 2009), but with WordPress 3.0 supporting CMS functionality out of the box, “Business” is a much more appropriate label. Who wants to bet on if there will be BBQ for lunch?</p> <p>August 7 : <a href="http://wordcampiowa.org/">WordCamp Iowa</a> – Des Moines, Iowa, USA. Another placeholder page. Happening, not happening? I’ve emailed the organizer and will update this post once I know more.</p> <p>August 7–8: <a href="http://wordcamp.org.nz/">WordCamp New Zealand</a> – Auckland, New Zealand. They haven’t announced this year’s speakers or topics, but they’ve been running polls to get community input into the program. Of note: in 2011 WordCamp New Zealand will be shifting seasons and will be in February instead, when the weather is nicer.</p> <p>August 20–22: <a href="http://2010.savannah.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Savannah</a> – Savannah, Georgia, USA. Disclaimer: I am completely biased about Savannah, since I’m one of the organizers. This will be the first WordCamp in Savannah, and it’s being held at the Savannah College of Art and Design River Club, an awesome venue that used to be a cotton warehouse or something like that. Since Savannah doesn’t really have a cohesive WordPress community yet (though a fair number of people from Savannah attended WordCamp Atlanta earlier this year), this WordCamp is aimed squarely at building a local community. We’ll have a local meet-and-greet, regular sessions with visiting speakers (lots of core contributors coming to this one, plus Matt), and on Sunday it will be combination unconference/genius bar/collaborative workspace. Oh, and a potluck! We’ll also be running a pre-WordCamp workshop for people who have never used WordPress but want to get started, so that they’ll be able to follow the presentations and conversations littered with WordPress-specific vocabulary over the weekend. Ticket sales just opened, so get your tickets now.</p> <p>For a <a href="http://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/">schedule of all upcoming WordCamps</a>, visit <a href="http://central.wordcamp.org/">wordcamp.org</a>. The autumn schedule is already packed! If you don’t see WordCamp in your area and are interested in organizing one, <a href="http://central.wordcamp.org/about/">get more information and let us know</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/summer-of-wordcamp/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>WordPress 3.0 "Thelonious"</title> <link>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/thelonious/</link> <comments>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/thelonious/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:26:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Matt Mullenweg</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Releases]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wordpress.org/development/?p=1380</guid> <description><![CDATA[Arm your vuvuzelas: WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard).

Major new features in this release include a sexy <strong>new default theme called Twenty Ten</strong>. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_SubPanel">menus</a> (no more file editing), <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Post_Types">post types</a>, and <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Taxonomies">taxonomies</a>. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited <strong>merge of MU and WordPress</strong>, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. As a user, you will love the new <strong>lighter interface</strong>, the contextual help on every screen, the <strong>1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements</strong>, bulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click, and blah blah blah just watch the video. <img src='http://wordpress.org/news/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <em>(In HD, if you can, so you can catch the Easter eggs.)</em></p> <p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="360" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="flashvars" value="guid=BQtfIEY1&width=640&height=360&locksize=no&dynamicseek=false&qc_publisherId=p-18-mFEk4J448M" /><param name="src" value="http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.21" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" src="http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.21" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" flashvars="guid=BQtfIEY1&width=640&height=360&locksize=no&dynamicseek=false&qc_publisherId=p-18-mFEk4J448M"></embed></object></p> <p>If you’d like to embed the WordPress 3.0 video tour in your blog, copy and paste this code for the high quality version:</p> <pre class="brush: xml;"><embed src="http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.21" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" wmode="transparent" seamlesstabbing="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" overstretch="true" flashvars="guid=BQtfIEY1&amp;width=640&amp;height=360&amp;locksize=no&amp;dynamicseek=false&amp;qc_publisherId=p-18-mFEk4J448M" title="Introducing WordPress 3.0 &quot;Thelonious&quot;"></embed></pre> <p>For a more comprehensive look at everything that has improved in 3.0 check out <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.0">3.0′s Codex page</a> or the <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?group=status&milestone=3.0&desc=1&order=priority">long list of issues in Trac</a>. (We’re trying to keep these announcement posts shorter.) Whew! That’s a lot packed into one release. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the 3.X cycle we’ll be in for the next two and a half years.</p> <h3>The Future</h3> <p>Normally this is where I’d say we’re about to start work on 3.1, but we’re actually not. We’re going to take a release cycle off to focus on all of the things around WordPress. The growth of the community has been breathtaking, including over 10.3 million downloads of version 2.9, but so much of our effort has been focused on the core software it hasn’t left much time for anything else. Over the next three months we’re going to split into ninja/pirate teams focused on different areas of the around-WordPress experience, including the showcase, Codex, forums, profiles, update and compatibility APIs, theme directory, plugin directory, mailing lists, core plugins, wordcamp.org… the possibilities are endless. The goal of the teams isn’t going to be to make things perfect all at once, just better than they are today. We think this investment of time will give us a much stronger infrastructure to grow WordPress.org for the many tens of millions of users that will join us during the 3.X release cycle.</p> <h3>It Takes a Village</h3> <p>I’m proud to acknowledge the contributions of the following <strong>218</strong> people to the 3.0 release cycle. These are the folks that make WordPress what it is, whose collaboration and hard work enable us to build something greater than the sum of our parts.

Today I’m going to rephrase and re-purpose that line:</p> <blockquote><p>Now is the time for great theme developers to come to the aid of their community.</p></blockquote> <p>The theme directory has been chugging along for more than a year now. During that time we’ve tinkered with the review process and some of the management tools, but haven’t really opened it up as much as we’d like. It’s time to rip off the band-aid and take some action; to that end, we’re looking for community members to help with the process of reviewing themes for the directory.</p> <p>Right now this is a bit like a New Year’s resolution to exercise every day: it’s what we need to do, but we’re still figuring out exactly how it will all work. That’s part of the community involvement as well — we expect that those who pitch in will also help shape the process.</p> <p>What’s involved in reviewing themes for the directory? There are some obvious things, such as being familiar with PHP and WordPress theme code (and the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development_Checklist">theme development checklist</a>), with an eye for security issues. You would also need to have the ability to set up a separate install of the latest version of WordPress for testing theme submissions.</p> <p>Hopefully a few talented theme developers are reading this right now and saying to themselves, “I’d love to help! How do I get started?” Just join the new <a href="http://lists.wordpress.org/mailman/listinfo/theme-reviewers">theme reviewers mailing list</a> and we’ll get you up to speed on this new opportunity to come to the aid of your community.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/expanding-the-theme-review-experiment/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>WordPress 3.0 Release Candidate</title> <link>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/05/wordpress-3-0-release-candidate/</link> <comments>http://wordpress.org/news/2010/05/wordpress-3-0-release-candidate/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 28 May 2010 02:35:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jane Wells</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Development]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wordpress.org/development/?p=1358</guid> <description><![CDATA[As Matt teased earlier, the first release candidate (RC1) for WordPress 3.0 is now available.

What’s an RC? An RC comes after beta and before the final launch. It means we think we’ve got everything done: all features finished, all bugs squashed, and all potential issues addressed. But, then, with over 20 million people using WordPress with a wide variety of configurations and hosting setups, it’s entirely possible that we’ve missed something. So! For the brave of heart, please download the RC and test it out (but not on your live site unless you’re extra adventurous). Some things to know:</p> <ul> <li>Custom menus are finished! Yay!</li> <li>Multi-site is all set.</li> <li>The look of the WordPress admin has been lightened up a little bit, so you can focus more on your content.</li> <li>There are a ton of changes, so plugin authors, please test your plugins <strong>now</strong>, so that if there is a compatibility issue, we can figure it out before the final release.</li> <li>Plugin and theme *users* are also encouraged to test things out. If you find problems, let your plugin/theme authors know so they can figure out the cause.</li> <li>There are a couple of <a href=" http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5">known issues</a>.</li> </ul> <p>If you are testing the RC and come across a bug, you can:</p> <ul> <li>Report it on the <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">wp-testers mailing list</a></li> <li>Join the dev chat and tell us live at irc.freenode.net #wordpress-dev</li> <li>File a bug ticket on the <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=reopened&status=assigned&status=reviewing&status=new&status=accepted&group=status&milestone=3.0">WordPress Trac </a></li> </ul> <p>We hope you enjoy playing with the 3.0 RC as much as we’ve enjoyed making it for you.

It seems like just yesterday we were fresh to the world, a new entrant to a market everyone said was already saturated. (As a side note, if the common perception is that a market is finished and that everything interesting has been done already, it’s probably a really good time to enter it.)</p> <p>The growth over the past year has blown me away. Since our last birthday we’ve doubled theme downloads to over 10 million, and doubled plugin downloads to 60 million. Most importantly, we continued to grow the development community to 1,528 people active on Trac and 13 committers, both numbers the highest in the history of WordPress.</p> <p>That’s 1,528 people pouring their hearts and souls into GPL software we all own, we all build on, we can use as we please, we can all make better. We’ve evolved from a simple script to a web platform.</p> <p>We’re on the cusp of version 3.0, with a release candidate coming out any minute now.</p> <p>If you’d like to celebrate WordPress’s birthday with us — tell a friend! Help them upgrade their blog or find the perfect theme. Talk about how WordPress is built by and for a community. Drop in to help test 3.0, including all the plugins you use. Write something to take advantage of the new 3.0 features, or teach your friends how to. If you buy any themes or plugins, make sure they’re GPL or compatible just like WordPress. We’ve got a long road ahead of us, it’s important that we not forget that Open Source got us this far, and is the only way we’re going to get to the next level. The whole of what we can build together is far greater than the sum of our parts.
