No..not another Wordpress version!!

kannanmr on August 4th, 2008

I logged in to my blog account 2 days back, after a verrry long time (I blame my project move in the professional world). I was surprised to find out so many things have happened in the Wordpress world. A new version has been released, many more vulnerabilities have been found and fixed…WAIT…a NEW version?? NOOOO! It feels like I just updated to a new version…is there a new one already!???

Wordpress is churning out new versions faster than my C2Duo / Vista machine can boot :P Don’t believe me? Look at these dates:

Wordpress version Release date
1.5 (Strayhorn) mid-Feb 2005
2.0 (duke) Dec 2005
2.1 (Ella) 22 Jan 2007
2.2 (Getz) 16 May 2007
2.3 (Dexter) 24 Sep 2007
2.5 (Brecker) 29 Mar 2008

Just now installed Windows Live Writer 2008 (Final); The installer they have there is just around 2.3MB, but it downloads the actual Live Writer binaries later. When you execute this "small" file, it scans through your computer for other Live programs (WHY??!!) and offers you a screen full of other Live programs that you *should* […]
