Over the last year or so I’ve released several plugins for WordPress. Some of the were adaptations of existing plugins, some were built from the ground up, some have been updated and some…well…haven’t. The release of WP2.5 gives me a good opportunity to take a look at what plugins (other than Fluency as I think I’ve covered it enough on here in the last month or so) I have released, and what their future holds.
Ultimate Category Cloud
Current Version: 3.0
Development Status: 4.0 is in progress.
Next Release: Before the end of April.
While this is relatively simple plugin, it took me a while to get the basics working as I had originally intended them too. The first release was quite buggy to say the least, which was the main reason that v2 follow fairly soon after. I was happy enough with v2 not to update it any further, until WP2.3 came out and changed the way that categories were handled. I updated UCC to v3, bringing WP2.3 compatibility, along with some much need “cleansing” of my code, the removal of unneeded cruft, basically it was an overall refinement.
I’ve recently started work on v4.0 which will add (much needed) widget support which will make it even easier for users to add to their blogs, I’ve also sorted out a few oddities in the code which have been there since v2.
