I have a long-standing habit of using subversion for WordPress and bbPress updates. There are some added features in the trunk that I like, but I wonder if it’s safe to update to the trunk at this point. A look at the tickets seems to indicate that it would be relatively ok.

Anyone have experiences using trunk?

I think it’s relatively safe to update to trunk. Trunk is probably less broken than 1.0.2 right now. I would perform a test installation to be sure everything still works the way you want, before upgrading a production site.

This site is using trunk, BTW.

If you begin using trunk, please post any problems to trac so they can be addressed. Thanks

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.

Is there a central location to manage topic subscriptions in the new subscribe feature?

Or is there a way to automatically subscribe upon reply?

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

No to both, I am afraid. The automatically subscribe on reply used to be available as a plugin but that would not work with the new trunk release.

[@copperblade Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

That’s ok. It’s hard to say what should be core functionality and what should be a plugin. Personally, I’m a fan of keeping the core as small as possible.

I’ve been on trunk now with few problems. But I don’t see this great facelift on my site I guess this isn’t available yet? I really like the bigger gravatars.
