WordPress MU 2.6 beta 1 is out

Donncha released yesterday the first beta version of WordPress-MU 2.6. This version includes the new features of WordPress 2.6.  WordPress MU specific changes include

  • The version number is being bumped to 2.6 rather than 1.6 because of version confusion.
  • Signup page now has a nonce to help defeat spammers.
  • Plugins in wp-content/plugins/ are version checked like in WordPress. mu-plugins isn’t covered just yet.
  • Major object cache changes.
  • And many more bug fixes. Check the timeline for a list of changes.

    Hi Elad,

    I’m about to launch a WP-MU based site. Is the beta strong enough to be launching the new site based on it, or should I stick with 1.5.1? (It’s not an Hebrew one, so I don’t care bout localization)

    Ohad – can you wait a few days? I think that 2.6 is just behind the corner. Don’t use the beta version, use trunk.
