WordPress 1.5.2

A new version of WordPress is out. Here are the changes:

  • register_globals security hole plugged
  • Posting is much faster, because pingbacks, trackbacks, and enclosure are all done in the background using a shutdown hook
  • You can now “Save and Continue Editing” on Pages
  • There are more juicy hooks for plugin developers
  • The “All Comments” feed now includes post titles
  • Various XMLRPC remote posting fixes
  • New method of parsing pingback excerpts

  1. I was just getting ready to go over and download this and thought to myself, “I better check and make sure that Mark hasn’t done this already.” So I go and check my version and…bada-bing…I’m upgraded.

    Thanks pal.

  2. Haha…

    Hey, I just upgraded to 1.5.2 but I still can’t “Save and Continue Editing” under the Write>Page. That button isn’t on Rob’s either. I would like that feature… is there something I’m missing or did that not actually get included in the upgrade?

  3. Rob, no problem. 😀

    Sphagnum, hm… apparently it only exists on Manage => Pages (i.e. once you’ve already created a page.)

    I’ll try and get it fixed so that you can Save and Continue Editing from the original creation page.

  4. Gotcha. Yeah, I like having the save feature for posts so you don’t have to publish them but can still save them for later editing. Let me know if/when you figure out how to get that changed cause I’d love to have it…

  5. Well, “Save and Continue Editing” for pages will NOT save them as drafts. It will just save the page, and allow you to continue editing. For doing page “drafts,” I would create a “test” page that you hide in your <? wp_list_pages(); ?> calls, and then create all your drafts as subpages of that “test” page. Or, heck, you could just create them as subpages of any legit page, if you’re only showing one depth level of pages in your <? wp_list_pages(); ?> calls.

    Anyway, use this to enable “Save and Continue Editing” on new page creation. Seems to work for me. Goes in /wp-admin/. I uploaded it to SayAnything.

  7. Yeah, I do bug triage for WordPress. Identify major issues, write patches, test new code, shuffle things to the top of the deck for the developers. 1.6 is definitely going to be cool, but it’s a long way off. I’d be surprised if it makes it out before the end of the year.
