Wordpress 2.5

I just downloaded WordPress 2.5 and installed it on a spare server. Too early days to overwrite this blog, but its time for a cup of coffee and some hacking.

First impression, besides feeling a little lost in the new admin menu ? I was curious how many filters the WP 2.5 code has compared to WP 2.3.3. So I did a little search of the source code for the “apply_filters” function call.

grep -ir apply_filters * | wc -l

The results? For WP 2.33 the answers is a total of 413 calls to “apply_filters’ . For WP 2.5 the results is 555. So that is 34% more calls ; that should make Wordpress that much more flexible (and that much slower ;-))
