Manga+Press

The next release of Manga+Press is currently in the works, I’m happy to say. However, I do have some bad news to report. Because of the implementation of custom post types & taxonomies in the next version, I’m finding it very hard to retain backwards compatibility. The only option I can think of is to branch Manga+Press. MP 2.6.x will continue as it’s own branch and Manga+Press 3.0 will be a different branch entirely. Heh, maybe I should start coming up with names for these different branches

Anyway, branching them will allow me to provide support for both versions. I can also transfer over features that don’t require custom post-types or custom taxonomies. One feature that I can definitely transfer over takes advantage of post thumbnails, and another feature I have in mind is grouping comics by series or chapters.

So, that’s just about it for news on the future of Manga+Press. I’ll have an update when I know how I’m going to handle the branching.
