Here’s a nice post by Jane Wells (yes, the one of WordPress fame) about the requirements for WordPress 3.2 and some rationale about the system changes being implemented for the latest version of the blogging software.

The big news is actually not that big: the version of Oracle’s [ORCL] MySQL database and the PHP engine have been locked in at recent versions:

  • MySQL 5.0 or higher
  • PHP 5.2.4 or higher

For most site hosting services, this is not a problem. In fact, a lot of the services have been actively pushing their customers to upgrade their Web applications to PHP 5 and recent versions of MySQL for years. But a significant, popular software package like WordPress has enough impetus to push the holdout administrators over to more modern versions. :-)

A couple of Firefox personas featured by Jane...

So you love using or publishing on WordPress, and you also enjoy using Firefox. So why not add some WordPress-themed bling to Firefox?

That’s the premise behind various Firefox personas. Jane Wells highlights a few options for those of you who really like WordPress and Firefox together, and not just from a functional level but also an appearance level. :-)

There’s a separate site created to feature Firefox personas, so if you’re interested, you should check it out. And if you’re so laser-focused on WordPress-themed Firefox personas, check this out. ;-)

It seems that the standard WordPress 2.7 release will occur sometime around December 10, 2008, according to a comment that Lorelle tracked along a post over at the Blog Herald with a comment from Jane Wells about the eventual FCS date.

Remember Jane? No? Okay, check out her lil’ blog hosted at WordPress.com. You’ll notice something very familiar about her blog: it uses the old Cutline theme– the granddaddy, if you will– seen in some of Javamancy‘s first few iterations. Great minds, etc. etc… or at least, silly minds, blah blah blah. ;-) You can even read her short WordPress 2.6/2.7 personal usage blurb.

Anyway, while you’re visiting her blog, drop her a quick line. She’s looking for tips on restaurants in Kansas for some reason… Just don’t tell her that I sent you. We wouldn’t want the public to know that I’m the ghost in the machine. :twisted:
