This week WordPress 2.3-RC1 will be released. As it is a release candidate, it will more-or-less be what will be released next week. That being said, I will be testing the current plug-in for compatibility (minus tags). Should everything work fine there will be no need to migrate to a newer version to remain compatible with WordPress 2.3. Some schedule conflicts will force me to push off the re-writing of Breadcrumb Navigation XT for 2.0. Instead for 2.0, I will add support for archives by tags (really the only new thing to add for tag compatibility), and do a little code cleanup in preparation for a major overhaul in a future version (maybe 2.1 or 2.2). At that time an additional navigation related plug-in will be released, and Breadcrumb Navigation XT will be renamed Breadcrumb NavXT, and become part of the “NavXT” plug-in suite.
