Version 1.0 of the DiSo Actionstream plugin for WordPress has finally been released! The upgrade for this version may be a little rough, because the entire data storage model has changed since the last release. Let me know if you have any trouble!
For Debian users, there is a wordpress-diso-actionstream package in my APT repository.
I’ve made some large updates to my picoformats plugin for WordPress (picoformats also sometimes known as microsyntax).
- Processing of comments has been removed (at least for now)
- Both trackbacks and pingbacks are sent for @ replies
- Trackbacks and pingbacks are sent for URLs in in-reply-to custom fields.
- URLs are auto-linked
- More stable regex, etc for @ reply/#hastag detection with some help from @tantek.com
- support for starting a post’s content with “reply URL”, “reply #URL”, “#URL”, “reply post-ID”, “reply #post-ID”, or “#post-ID” and having in-reply-to custom field added automatically (and the reply bit at the beginning of the content snipped off).

In line with my last post I have also created a plugin that adds <link> tags to your <head> section on appropriate pages for rel=first and rel=last, attributes that allow browsers and others to easily discover the first and last page in a set of pages.
The plugin also provides utility functions for getting this information so that you can add human-visible <a> tags, if you prefer.

Just a note that my XRDS-Simple plugin has undergone some major refactoring as part of the DiSo project. It now lives at WordPress Extend.
I have released an update to my Picoformats plugin. This update changes the logic so that posts are not modified in the database (thanks, @aditya!), but on the fly. It will also link to the local profile/archive of a user (thanks, @als!) that has no URL set in their profile. Also, if you use an @ reply from inside a comment and use the (one-word) name of a comment poster, it will recognize this (if they have whitespace in their name, just take it out when writing the @ reply). @ replies in comments also do not check Twitter usernames anymore, since this is expensive and breaks common use.
