The announcement was made earlier today! Do you have a testing environment yet? If not, I’d recommend you get one! I have one set up in a subdomain off of my personal blog! I leave it open to the public (I use it to show solutions to people’s problems on the forums, or here) but Iit looks a mess right now, I have the early stages dev version of the 2012 theme on it. That being said, here’s the gist of WP 3.4:
Recently, Andrew Nacin went to town, documenting everything you need to know about the imminent release of WordPress 3.3. If you are a dev, you really need to know this stuff. Even if you are just a casual user, this stuff is good to know. Take a look and see what is coming up!
We are finally moving from Beta to Release Candidate (RC). Are you ready? If you have any custom themes or plugins, have you tested them? Have you checked out all the details of the release yet? Release Candidate is usually the stage where I start switching over my sites, starting with the least complicated. You can do the same on a simple site, and play around a bit. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone with a complicated site, lots of jQuery plugins, or a site that would hurt if it went down. But in those circumstances, you should have a copy test site, and should already know if WP3.3 is going to cause any issues.
WordPress just announced the release of the Beta 2 for 3.3, why not give it a try? This one comes with quite a few fixes, including all of the items I had mentioned here. The more eyeballs that look at this, the better chance we have of squashing the bugs. If you haven’t done it before, set yourself up a little test site in a subdomain or subdirectory, and see what’s new!
The Beta release of WordPress 3.3 has just been announced. As always, they could really use some help with testing this bad boy. I’m going to give my first impressions after an hour of playing around. Let’s just say, this one needs some polish!
OK, we’ve done a good deal of stuff to our twentyeleven child theme already. Changed widths, changed layout, reworked the header to fit our needs, even added an index page widget and 2 new sidebars to the single view. That’s a lot of stuff. I’ve covered it all in various tutorials here on VoodooPress, but maybe you work better with all the code right in front of you? Well you are in luck…I guess? Here’s the VoodooChild2011 and associated Voodoo Functionality plugin. I believe I have properly done function checks in my theme, so that it can run without the plugin. But to get full functionality, the theme works best with the plugin.
It’s that time again folks. Time to upgrade your installs. WordPress 3.1.4 is out in the wild, and it brought a friend!! The 3rd release candidate for 3.2. So let’s get everything upgraded, your main installs, and even your test install. 3.2 is looming near, time for some final testing to see if you can break it. What is the updates bringing us?
Time for another round of upgrade fun. Version 3.1.3 has been released. So hook it up. Get going on that upgrade, once again it contains important security fixes.
And for the brave men and women who give so much testing WP releases, get yourself up to 3.2 Beta 2
Yes that’s right, WordPress 3.1 has finally been released to the wild! Now we’ve been using it on all The Voodoo Empire sites for a while and it’s very cool. Of course as with any WordPress update, you will want to upgrade right away. Plenty of cool new stuff in this release.
