by on October 16th, 2010 in , Work is well underway on 3.1 and a quick update detailing the status of some of the new features as we approach the November 1st code freeze . The following features will more than likely be included in WordPress 3.1: – “Allow denoting a post as a certain format. Some example formats are aside, gallery, link, quote. This will allow themes to style these posts according to format.” (ready to go, awaiting decision to include a UI that themes can enable) – “Lift some of the search and browse ideas from the themes.php.” (still in first draft) – “. . . you click a button for an internal link . . . and it allows you to search for a post or browse a list of existing content by title, date, author, etc. and select it for inclusion.” (patch provided) – “. . . an administration bar similar to the one on WordPress.com.” (first round is in) – “. . . makes most columns sortable, introduces a new pagination style, ajaxifies sortable columns, pagination & search . . .”(ready to go) – Visual editor updated to 3.3.9.2. (ready to go) – Allows users to query multiple taxonomies. (first round is in) – Provides an index for custom post type virtual directories. (first round is in) – Cleans up “all admin CSS files to make them much easier to maintain, reduce bloat, consolidate extraneous files, and provide better support for admin color schemes.” (will span two releases) – Makes QuickPress a function useable by custom post types and themes. (first round is in) – Provides a more personal Dashboard; “a single endpoint for accessing profile information, cross-site preferences, a launching point for accessing all of a user’s blogs, collation of stats across all of a user’s blogs, a place for a multisite aware QuickPress, etc.” (first round is in) – Moves “the Super Admin menus and related pages out of the regular admin and into wp-admin/network/.” (fixing bugs) I’m looking forward to the extra customization that post formats will offer and the shortcuts toadmin functions provided by the admin bar.
