We are prepping the next minor version, pirmarily bug fixes, 3.1.3… We have been planning thiis release for the end of June or early July…
It now appears that the WordPress 2.6 release is going to drop sometime between July 7th and 14th… With Andy on vacation and myself leaving on vacation this weekend, we have not had time to check our compatibility with this new version of WordPress.
There are a couple of changes in WP 2.6 that may cause headaches for a lot of plugins. The developers are adding in the capability for users to move their wp-config.php and wp-content folder from their current locations. Those two have always been a constant and will need some work from plugins to support it. There may also be other gotchas we are not yet aware of.
We are going to potentially delay the 3.1.3 release until we can ensure that we have compatibility with WP 2.6. There may not be any delay, but just wanted to give a heads up since this new WP version is timing nicely with our vacations 
If you use Simple:Press Forum, you may want to use caution in immediately upgrading to WP 2.6 until we get a chance to check compatibility. I am not aware of any major security fixes in WP 2.6 requiring immediate upgrade. That said, I usually upgrade pretty quickly myself so this is a priority for us. If you do not use the two above mentioned new WP features, I “think” you will be okay to upgrade, but I have to stress that we have not yet played with the WP 2.6 beta.
If you do upgrade to WP 2.6 (bleeding edge, beta or final versions) before we can check the compatibility, please let us know how it works…
Thanks…
