Here’s the scoop, due to classes, the release of Breadcrumb NavXT 3.2.0 did not make it in March. This past week Tom and I have been working on various parts of the administrative interface. All proposed core changes have been made, and all that remains is some administrative interface related features. These include importing/exporting options and the ability to reset the options to defaults. More on the importing and exporting on release, which looks like will be next Friday.

Since there were no regressions from the 3.0.2 release to the 3.1.0 release, the next release will be 3.2.0. Expect this to ship at the end of the month, possibly into early April. For 3.2.o some things will be changing in the core. Some of these changes fix a regression between 2.x and 3.x in the handling of attachments to posts (the full taxonomy path will be shown in 3.2.0, the fix is already in the SVN trunk).

The bcn_breadcrumb_trail->display() function will be rewritten to work for either reverse or forward oriented breadcrumb trails. A supplemental function will be added that works similar to bcn_breadcrumb_trail->display(), but each breadcrumb is wrapped in <li> tags, this will make it easier for those who want that type of output. Some minor changes to the administrative interface will occur as well. Finally, some performance evaluation will occur durring this round to hopefully identify and correct any potential performance issues.

Welcome to the 3.1.0 branch of Breadcrumb NavXT, to your right you’ll notice paged archives, searches, and the front page all work in a more coherent manner. In the back you’ll notice that the administrative interface has been tweaked to match the look and feel of WordPress 2.7 even better than before. You’ll also notice that the tabbed interface, once a separate plugin, is now built in.

All included translations should be up to date, including the German translations that fell behind since the 3.0.0 release.

You can grab the latest version of Breadcrumb NavXT from the Breadcrumb NavXT page.
