timber/timber 2.0.0-alpha.1

2.0 First Alpha release!

on GitHub

This is the first version of the long awaited Timber version 2.0.0 that you can try out. It’s not stable yet. We still have some smaller tasks to finish and test it out.

It’s a version 2, because there are quite a few breaking changes. Refer to the Upgrade Guide for more information.

The overall goals of Timber 2.0 include:

• Making Timber more consistent.
• Making Timber easier to handle and extend.
• Making Timber more compatible with plugins.

High-level changes include:

• A newer, streamlined Posts API.
• Class Maps for a more loosely coupled way of creating Post, Term, User, Menu, MenuItem, and Comment objects.
• No more direct instantiation of the classes mentioned above. Use Class Maps instead.
• New PostCollectionInterface for a unified way to deal with various lists of posts.
• An upgraded Context.
• A big update for how fetching meta values works.

We’re happy if you want to test it out. In case you find errors, please open an issue.
