Backwards Compatibility #22

Closed splorp closed 10 years ago

splorp commented 13 years ago

I’d like to open up a discussion on how backwards compatible Tersus should be. Specifically, what is the oldest version of WordPress we should support? Does this even matter? What’s the adoption rate of fresh WordPress versions?

Food for thought.

Almost 50% of active installs are running 3.0 73.3% run 3.0 – 3.2

I’m thinking anything older than that we probably want to avoid.

I’m cool with officially limiting it to 3.x support.

Although, I would like to test it under the last couple of stable 2.x releases and document the major issues. I can easily install older versions under a subdirectory on my Bluehost account for testing.

As of the 0.2.1 release we’ve replaced a bunch of deprecated fucntions and made WordPress 3.0 a minimum requirement. Forward, ho!
