Yesterday we did a trial update for WPML 2.7 on our own site. Overall, I’m very happy with the results. WPML.org’s response time was cut by about 50% (x2 faster) and some functionality that we’ve been long waiting for is finally working smoothly. However, a little bug related to RSS feed filtering caused Feedburner to send a bunch of news emails in all languages.
So, we’re going to spend Monday fixing these issues, retest and then we can release.
The new WPML release will bring:
- Much improved performance (both in the WP admin and in public pages)
- Much greater robustness to the menu sync functionality
- Support for Google-compliant language codes in translation links
- A bunch of warnings and notices fixed
I’ll write again, with full details when it clears QA and ready to ship.
Have a great weekend, and again, sorry for all these French and Chinese emails that we sent you.
Thanks for explaining the case of the wild newsletter
The performance improvement looks really sweet. I hope that v2.7 will be released during the next week, so I can update it on a site before its deadline. 🙂
We plan to release WPML 2.7 either on Monday or Tuesday.
