[New] Free Regular Expression (Regex) Libraries and Source Code

Are you thinking of adding support in your program for searching for a particular piece of text? If so, the free regular expression libraries on this page will allow you to do so in the standard way used by most software, without having to reinvent the wheel. For the puzzled, regular expressions are just a concise way to specify a pattern of text to match.

Note: if you are looking for a search and replace utility so that you can find a file or document containing something you wrote a while ago, you should check out the Free Text Search and Replace Utilities page instead. The libraries page mentioned earlier is meant for programmers, while the utilities page is useful for everyone.

WordPress 2.8.1 Beta 1

We’ve started work on the first maintenance release to 2.8.  2.8.1 will fix a handful of bugs that turned up in 2.8.  Today we’re releasing the first beta of 2.8.1.  Download it, and check out the bugs fixed so far.  Here are some of the notable issues that are fixed in beta 1.

  • Certain themes were calling get_categories() in such a way that it would fail in 2.8. 2.8.1 works around this so these themes won’t have to change.
  • Dashboard memory usage is reduced.  Some people were running out of memory when loading the dashboard, resulting in an incomplete page.
  • The automatic upgrade no longer accidentally deletes files when cleaning up from a failed upgrade.
  • A problem where the rich text editor wasn’t being loaded due to compression issues has been worked around.
  • Extra security has been put in place to better protect you from plugins that do not do explicit permission checks.

If you would like to automatically upgrade from 2.8 to 2.8.1 Beta 1, follow these instructions.  Thanks for testing WordPress.
