Plugin Updates
My host moved this site to a new server the other day, so hopefully everything made it over in one piece. It was amusing to get e-mails about new comments being posted despite the fact that I couldn’t access the new server myself (DNS issue with my ISP). So if I haven’t responded to your e-mail or your comment has disappeared, please let me know.
PreFormatted 1.0 Released
The newest PreFormatted release is now online and includes some minor fixes. Specifically, a few filters had to be tweaked due to changes in the official Strayhorn release. I also added a fix for a common WordPress problem: wpautop() likes to place your <!--more--> and <!--nextpage--> tags into their own paragraph blocks. This produces invalid XHTML when your post gets split into multiple pages. PreFormatted will remove the offending tags when possible.
I have many features planned for the next release, including keeping a copy of posts in their original format. I’ve been using Markdown lately (on another project) so expect PreFormatted to play nicer with other formatting plugins — my strategy should allow it to detect which filters need to re-arranged automatically.
Jerome’s Keywords — Roadmap
Thanks again to everyone who has sent me feedback about this plugin. As mentioned in a previous comment thread, there is an alpha of version 1.5 that can be used to create a tag cosmos. I plan to release 1.5-final in the next few days, which will add a “top X” (insert your number here) keyword list and will fix the way category meta keywords are handled.
I suspect that the new features of 1.5 won’t scale very well for heavily used sites, so the next major release (2.0) will move to a different storage scheme. Don’t worry, the conversion will be painless and completelybehind the scenes. The plan also calls for an options page for easier customization.
