>From what I heard this weekend from Matt, there really is going to be nothing >more done for the "legacy." No one apparently is downloading it; the security improvements really can't be reversed engineered without a lot of work, especially if they are dependent on some of the later work (and server updates).
Think of it as the time line being moved up. There is also the issue that if you don't have anyone who wants to adopt it and spend their time on 2.0 as apposed to the newer versions, there is not going to be much work put into it. The reasons I can see for not upgrading would primarily be lack of server support for more recent PHP and mySQL.. What you might want to do is assist them in updating to at least 2.5.... Not surprisingly, I have found several holdouts wind up really liking widgets and some of the new hooks. -Holly www.proseknitic.de ________________________________ Von: g30rg3_x <[email protected]> An: [email protected] Gesendet: Montag, den 20.

Seems that the WordPress team already deleted support for this branch but i can't find information about when this happen and why?.... Isn't this branch the one that promised "security and critical fixes until 2010"?[1]... Is it cause debian lenny moved on to 2.5.x?[2]... Sorry but i just want clarification of this issue cause some people are still using the legacy branch and they don't want to move on up the latest stable for his own personal matters so i guess is better ask here if there gonna be a complete drop over the support of the legacy 2.0 branch or well another branch will be used as the legacy branch.
