looks like a great start. but do you know if 2.4 be all small stuff like this or are there any major new features?
sk: There will be some big new features in 2.4
One of the things that you can see happening slowly in the changes already in is a migration of the admin AJAX code to jQuery along with improvements to that functionality
Sounds good! Waiting for the complete release 🙂
Sweet!
AJAX for category add/delete sounds rather handy!
Thanks for the update!
I’d like to be able to rename text widgets to reflect what they contain. Also perhaps the ability to create more than 9 without using a plugin to duplicate current widgets.
I can’t imagine how Admin in jQuery O_O Sound something big hu! But I think will be great.
