Rolling to 2.1

The ‘foo has just been upgraded to Wordpress 2.1, with nary an issue in sight1. Well done Matt and the team, the upgrade was surprisingly bump free and the new features2 are very well received.

Granted — Whilst I still cannot bring myself to use the WYSIWYG editor, the rest of the improvements look particularly solid.

An additional upside is that sig2feed appears3 to be quite operational under 2.1, so it should be ready for you on the ‘other side’ of the upgrade — another win for the day!

  1. .. yes, I was going to hold off, but all credit to the WP team - 2.1 upgrade was flawless ()
  2. .. such as auto-save ()
  3. provisionally, at least ()

    Hi,

    I had small problem with your theme (which is great btw :) ) as after upgrade it was displaying posts and all pages on the front page. I had to add “post_type=’post’” condition to the query in home.php and it works correctly again.

    Second thing is that you could slightly modify the footer behavior as currently it’s displayed at the bottom of the content, not at the bottom of the display. Here are some tips: http://alistapart.com/articles/footers. The js code presented on that page could be modified to use prototype as the functionality used in this example is already built in (if I remember correctly).

    Also you could probably remove most of the js files as prototype and scriptaculous libraries are provided with wordpress.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Will look into that over the weekend and release an updated version as a result.
