WordPress 4.4 Released
WordPress 4.4 was released today. For the first time, I was one of the core contributors. Before you sound impressed, there were 469 of us. But after over 9 years of WordPress use…nice to be involved.

What did you contribute?
All notification emails are now hooked instead of plugged. To put it simply, for example, you can now remove the entire comment notification function and replace it with a custom one. When I was in Israel in June, I was posting pictures and getting comment notifications that were not useful.
I have 2 other related tickets with patches submitted that missed the 4.4 deadline I’m hoping to get into 4.5. One deals with more changes to parts of the comment notification system that date from early WordPress to allow the functionality I was trying to get. The other deals with allowing customization of pingbacks.
I also have a few more tickets that are still not ready for a release, but I hope to someday get solutions in for. Several involving the commenting system, and the rest involving semantic markup.

Congratulations! This is awesome! I’m actually jealous a bit…
Very proud of you, as usual!
