It seems the trac website is a bit broken at the moment – would submit a bug report but I just seem to be going round in a loop.

unscheduled downtime
Sorry for the unscheduled downtime on the WordPress Version Check webservice earlier but I had to shut the power off quickly on this server after we discovered the central heating system was leaking quite close to some of the main circuitry. It’s all up and running again now and wpbot should also be chatting away back in #wordpress. Now we just need to buy the replacement part for the primary heating circuit so that we can have hot water again 🙁
my new favourite one liner
Well last weeks bug hunt went well by all accounts we managed to convince Ryan to make 30 commits and about 100 tickets were closed. During the process of testing all these patches I found a new favourite one-liner for working with trac and patches:
svn revert -R * && curl "trac-patch-raw-fileurl" | patch -p0
This enables you to download a patch direct from the trac web interface and apply it against your local svn checkout ensuring to revert any other local changes first. For example using this with the patch attached to ticket 3110:
svn revert -R * && curl "http://trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/3110/3110.diff?format=raw" | patch -p0
pjw-mime-config v0.90 released
A while ago I released a simple plugin which allows you to manage the mime-types supported by the WordPress inline-uploader. This plugin worked well for most people baring a issue with php shorttags which made it break some sites. However, some people requested an update to the plugin to support adding a large list of mime-types from a file. I am proud to announce that finally after many months of sitting there 95% finished I am ready to release this plugin update.
