More Wordpress bugfixin: when's it gonna stop?

Friday, December 10th 2004
"Wordpress":http://wordpress.org, the software that delivers this blog, has some problems. And even if its users are clever and supply fixes and all, it is not really cool to edit lots of files by hand to fix bugs. I really feel it's *high time that Wordpress release a new bugfix version*. Some of the bugs the new version should fix: * "include xmlrpc.php":http://blog.tijs.org/archives/2004/10/25/missing-files/. *This alone* should warrant a new point release, IMO. * fix trackback, as "codefreak.de":http://codefreak.de/archiv/2004/06/02/wordpress-trackback-auf-bloggde/ and "ioz or whatever":http://iozblog.ionosfera.com/archives/2004/08/29/wordpress_trackback_fix/ have done, as it apparently was broken (I haven't noticed, but I'm new to this scene and trackbacking is just too advanced for me at the moment) * even though it's just a plugin, it's shipped with the default install, and I therefore think that the encoding problem in Textile ("as I covered earlier":http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~havardda/blogg/posts/2004-11-28/textile-bug-swallows-non-ascii-characters/trackback/ ) should be fixed as well And the point of this rather dull post? To see if the trackback fixes described above do. _Update:_ It really seemed to work. I get a list of _already pinged_ trackback uris. I guess thats good. :)
