New version of Ultimate Tag Warrior

Christine Davis, author of Ultimate Tag Warrior, has released a new version which fixes the minor problems I had with it, and adds tag unions and intersections, in a minor version release (2.8→2.8.1), no less. I have no idea what kind of feature transcendance would necessitate a shift to 3.0. ;-)

Cheers, Christine!

    The intersections have been there for a while (just not very noisily!).. the unions are shiny and new, though (:

    3.0 will be an interesting milestone I’m sure.. The jump between the end of version 1.x and 2.0 was enormous; I don’t know if it’s possible to make a leap that big again (;

    Well, color me impressed. One of the cool things about WordPress plugins is that the development playing field is very level, in terms of the difference between author and user. When I was doing Windows application development, I was the only person anywhere near the source, and as such I was the only person who could debug the application. More importantly, if I published something a bit lopsided, all of my users had to either wait for me to fix it or suffer.

    With a WordPress plugin, and given a bit of PHP experience, anyone can open up Notepad and start poking around; they don’t have to have a bazillion-dollar IDE package. Just upload and see if it works.

    The source for UTW is getting sufficiently big and scary that all but the bravest souls daren’t look at it (;

    (Divided into classes and files helps.. a lot.. although I still sometimes lose track of things d: )
