2.1.4 Release

July 13, 2008 by Benedict Eastaugh | 13 comments

Tarski 2.1.4 contains a vital compatibility fix for anyone upgrading to WordPress 2.6. If you’re planning on installing WordPress 2.6, install this update immediately, before you upgrade your WordPress installation. Following the upgrade guide is generally a good idea.

Always back up your files and database before running a WordPress or Tarski upgrade.

It appears that options are now being automatically unserialised, which means that when Tarski attempts to unserialise the already-unserialised tarski_options object, an error gets thrown which breaks a bunch of stuff. All of which means, upgrade now, or you might potentially lose your Tarski options.

Tarski 2.2 is still in production, and will add some nice functionality as well as some performance improvements and a fair bit of tidying. I’ve backported a couple of bug-fixes from 2.2 to 2.1.4, so you don’t have to wait for them.

Issues with this release should be posted on the forum.

    Great job Ben, as always!

    The link that appears in the administration panel is broken though and pointing to http://tarskitheme.com/2008/05/20/214-release/.

    Thanks for pointing that out. Should be fixed now.

    Does 2.1.4 work under WordPress 2.5.1 without any problems?

    Should do, yes. I didn’t have any problems when I tested it.

    Just upgraded to WordPress 2.6 with no problems at all. Works fine on WP 2.5.1 as well.

    I’ve just upgraded this site to WordPress 2.6, and nothing seems to be broken yet, although admittedly I’m running off Tarski trunk rather than 2.1.4.

    Not sure what to say; it works just fine for me, and I use a Mac.

    Very nice theme! Can’t wait to use it on one or two of my sites.
