Next Wednesday, June 10th, is the target date for the release of
WordPress 2.8. Tickets against the 2.8 milestone that are not
blockers will be postponed to another release.
WP 2.9 will require MySQL 4.1.2 or greater. This is raised from the current requirement of 4.0.
Checks will be added to the automatic upgrader that will prevent upgrading to 2.9 if MySQL < 4.1.2 is being used. The upgrader will also issue a notice that suggests asking the host to upgrade MySQL to meet the minimum requirement.
In order to promote migration to PHP 5, the upgrader will suggest that those running
PHP 4 switch to PHP 5. A link to a Codex page describing how to switch for various hosts should be provided.
The new weekly IRC meetup time will be every Wednesday at 9pm UTC.
