Wordpress Plugins
Most WordPress releases are code named after amazing jazz artists starting after WordPress 1.0 WordPress Plugins
WordPress .70 was set loose on 27 May 2003 and used the same file structure as its predecessor, b2\cafelog. Only 0.71-gold is available for download in the official WordPress Release Archive page.
WordPress 1.2 was nicknamed Mingus (after Charles Mingus), and released on 22 May 2004. It’s noted for containing the support of Plugins. The same Plugin identication methods are still used unchanged in the latest WordPress versions.
WordPress 1.5 was released on 17 February 2005 and code named Strayhorn. It added many new much needed features. One such idea is being able to manage static pages. This allows content pages to be used and managed outside the normal blog timeline and has been the beginning step away from being easy blog management software to becoming a full content management system. Another is the new theme system, which allows users to quickly activate and deactivate “skins” for their blogs. WordPress added a new default template (code named Kubrick) designed by Michael Heilemann.
WordPress 2.0 was given to the world in 31 December 2005 and nicknamed Duke. This version WordPress Plugins added rich-text editing, better administration tools, uploading of images, faster posting, a better import system, and completely recoded the back end. WordPress 2.0 also offered lots of improvements to plugin writers.
On 22 January 2007, another major upgrade, WordPress 2.1, given the nickname Ella, was published. In addition to correcting security issues, version 2.1 featured a new interface and enhanced editing tools (including fanastic spell check and automatic saving), improved content management options, and a variety of code and database speed-ups.
WordPress 2.2, given the nickname Getz, was set loose on 16 May 2007. Version 2.2 included widget support for templates, new RSS feed support, and speed improvements. WordPress 2.2 was at first slated to implement a renewed taxonomy system for categories, as well as tags, but a suggested revision led to the feature being held back from release.
WordPress 2.3, given the nickname Dexter, was released 24 September 2007. Version 2.3 includes built-in tagging support, new taxonomy system for categories, notifications of updates as well as other interface improvements. 2.3 also fully supports Atom 1.0 along with the publishing protocol. WordPress 2.3 also includes some much wanted security fixes.
WordPress 2.5, code named Brecker, was released 29 March 2008. Coders skipped the release of version 2.4 so version 2.5 contained two releases worth of novel code. WordPress 2.5 saw a compete and utter overhaul of the administration interface and the WordPress website was also redesigned to match the new style.
