Micropub for WordPress 2.1.0 Released

Micropub version 2.1.0 for WordPress was released. It contains no exciting new features as Micropub is fairly stable.

  • Micropub now checks WordPress capabilities more effectively. It will now throw an error if the user tries to edit a post authored by another user if they do not have that permission, for example.
  • Default Titles and captions weren’t being set for images when uploaded.
  • Fix a variety of timezone related bugs
  • Added support for the proposed draft scope. If the token has this scope and not the create scope, then it will only allow posts to be created as drafts.
  • Return the created URL in the Micropub response to support an automation use case.
  • Add filters to allow a custom post type or custom taxonomy to be set during creation.
  • No longer support the ‘post’ scope as permission to do anything. It will map to a combination of create and update.
  • Misc unit test tweaks for consistency.
Never Forget! flyer for eventI attended an event that I heard about while attending Friday night services at Chabad here in Sofia, in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

In my walking tours of Sofia, the tour guides touched on the history of Bulgarian Jews during World War 2. At the event, one survivor spoke…the individual translating for me did not cover everything, but the same individual spoke the day before, and it was covered here.

If I got the gist correctly, he said that the idea that all Bulgarian Jews were saved was not true, there were victims. Either way, it’s complicated.

The documentary featured a survivor returning with school age children to tell them about what she experienced at Auschwitz and was very powerful.

As someone who has been to a fair number of Holocaust remembrance events, this was very meaningful to me, especially that I could be a part of it even though I was far from home, even though I did not understand everything that was said.

 

Sofia Synagogue

Opened in 1909, the Sofia Synagogue is one of the three largest in Europe. The Chandelier is supposedly the biggest in the Balkans.

On April 13, 1944, a bomb fell in the northeastern corner of the building, but did not explode. The building has been restored, and is used, but I could not find anyone who told me anything about services, if any.

I am looking for reviewers to review PRs for me for the WordPress plugins in the Indieweb organization. I feel like any work I do that is part of the github.com/indieweb should have a second opinion at least. If anyone is interested, please tell me. Right now, we only have one regular reviewer other than me and I feel like we should spread it a bit. Qualifications are ability to read and discuss code critically.
