Bad news for those of us looking forward to the release of WordPress 2.4 in late January - it’s been canned.

From postings on the WordPress development mailing list it appears that the major changes that were due in the codebase, especially the admin side, are too risky to release publically at the moment, and that the next release will now be 2.5 due in March.

Whilst I’m sure we are all disappointed not to get the new features as early as we would have liked, I’m sure we are all happier having a stable version of the application. It’s good to see common sense prevailing in situations like these.
