New plugin for Y’all. This one is of particular interest to plugin authors and theme designers (and… nobody else).
Activate it, and any time WordPress calls a function or file that has been deprecated, a message will be sent to your PHP log file that identifies exactly where the call came from and what to [...]
One of the most powerful features of WordPress is the huge community of developers making plugins that extend the software far beyond what the core application provides. It also allows people to add just what they want to use, rather than having a single bloated homogeneous download. There are drawbacks as well, of [...]
Mark Jaquith has put up a nice article on “How to write a solid and stable WordPress plugin“. It’s more of a rough overview than a detail piece, but he promises more details down the line in separate articles.
This is worth looking at if you write WP plugins, even if you’re pretty experienced — [...]
I’ve updated the Comment Spotlight plugin for WordPress. Changes in 1.1 include:

Spotlighted comments add “clear: both” div to end so spot images don’t extend past comment bottom
Moved Settings screen to Settings menu (was in Comments menu)
Added direct link to [...]

Significant error checking RE missing or renamed styles
If chosen style is missing, falls back to default rather than linking nonexistent [...]

I’ve just put up a new version of the JavaScript Pull-Quotes plugin.
Along with various bits of polishing up the code, 2.1 is fully compatible with WordPress 2.6. (Specifically, it won’t choke if you move your wp-content folder.)
Go get it!
