WordPress-Libs Version 2.14.0

Together these releases have included a few new features as well as stability enhancements. Further streamlining of Ajax testing: Back in version 1.6.0 we introduced the ability to test custom ajax responses with a new helper method called _handleAjaxCustom. While this works great, it still requires the boilerplate of a try/catch block then using $this->_last_response. … [Read more...]
