WordPress 2.8.1 Beta 2
As we’ve announced earlier WordPress is releasing the 2.8 version of the platform, and the development team is working on constantly improving this release. That’s why the WordPress 2.8.1 Beta is now available to the public.
The main differences are related in bugs fixing about the previous version. Here are some of them:
- Translation of role names fixed
- wp_page_menu() defaults to sorting by the user specified menu order rather than the page title
- Upload error messages are now correctly reported
- Autosave error experienced by some IE users is fixed
- Styling glitch in the plugin editor fixed
- SSH2 filesystem requirements updated
- Switched back to curl as the default transport
- Updated the translation library to avoid a problem with mbstring.func_overload
To see all tickets that were fixed from Beta 1, check this link. I really enjoy watching this kind of transparency in projects, where you can give your feedback, insert about a bug and see the evolution about it: owner, priority, state.
