No official word yet, but WordPress 2.5 appears to be on the verge of full release. The version number has dropped the “release candidate” qualification.

Get it from the Release Archives page.

WordPress Updated Links

Since the release of 1.5, WordPress has included an “update-links” program that you can call periodically to check the latest updated time of the links in your link roll. This program queries Pingomatic, which returns a list links and update times.

However, if the links in your database are of the format “http://www.timeistight.com,” the Pingomatic API won’t recognize them, even if the site pings Pingomatic religously; the Pingomatic API responds only to links without the “www,” e.g., “http://timeistight.com”.

May 31st Update: This has now been fixed. Also, Matt Mullenweg says that “Ping-O-Matic is now parsing several sources including weblogs.com for update information, so the quality of updates should be as good or better as when everyone was manually parsing changes.xml.”

I just downloaded the WordPress-2005-02-15 nightly and noticed that the version number no longer includes “Gamma”. I guess that means I’m legit for the first time in months.

Spam Karma on TextDrive

If you’re running Spam Karma on TextDrive, you should either disable the Captcha test or patch the plug-in as described in this thread. Spam Karma relies on a call to phpinfo() to determine if GD-Library-Support is enabled, but TextDrive disables phpinfo() for security reasons.
