No WordPress 2.7.x yet!

I have been thinking about this for few days now, but Kyle puts it well in words at http://wphacks.com/still-no-wordpress-271/.

Kudos to the team who put in the hard work to ensure this great release.

Update – As on 3rd Feb, 2.7.1 beta was released with some minor bug fixes and enhancements. But still, having no minor update for almost 50 days after the major version upgrade, is probably a first for WordPress. Cheers folks!

Hidden feature in new menu tag in WP 2.7?

There’s a neat new tag in WP 2.7 that lets you display a list of wordpress pages as links for navigation. You can even include the link to home much more painlessly than before. A typical tag will look like this:

However one feature that seems to be undocumented is the addition of depth. You can also specify the depth of the links by using “depth=x” as a parameter where “x” is the depth. 1 will display only the top level links, 2 will display 1 level of sub-links and so on.
Works well with my suckerfish navigation. Try it!
