“There is, very simply, still work to do,” Nacin said.<\/p>\n
“No surprises like MP6 (I saw on Twitter) or anything like that.<\/p>\n
“There will be a beta this week, promise.”<\/p>\n
“There’s no new timeline because we just need to get things done and ship, and we don’t know how long that’ll take just yet.”<\/p>\n
Nacin was responding to questions by WPTavern’s Jeff Chandler<\/a>, and said he would work with lead developer Mark Jacquith to get a timeline up by Friday.<\/p>\n Originally, version 3.6 was planned for release on April 22<\/a>, but that date came and went.<\/p>\n\n It’s been a month since the last beta was release and no doubt the core developers are up to their eyeballs in code, with WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg cracking the proverbial whip.<\/p>\n Despite talk the (top secret!) MP6 UI will be part of version 3.6, Helen Hou-Sandi, who is on the version 3.6 team leading work on post formats, told her Twitter followers yesterday it “absolutely will not.”<\/p>\n A new post formats UI was originally going to be a big feature of 3.6, but work on it was taking too long.<\/p>\n Lead developer Mark Jaquith announced on May 30 the UI would be stripped from core to live as a plugin. At the time he said there seemed to be a “fundamental issue with the concept” and the release of 3.6 “can’t be held up any longer for this. It needs to come out.”<\/p>\n MP6, which was announced this week as the new UI for WordPress.com, is expected to be part of WordPress 3.7.<\/p>\n So, there you have it. It looks like we will just have to sit on our hands and wait a bit longer for WordPress 3.6. And maybe even keep speculating on when it will be released…<\/p>\n If you were a betting person, what date would you say 3.6 is going to be shipped?
