Normally I wouldn’t post WordPress news here because we’re focused on gaming. But, WordPress is our platform for the blog and I’ve been talking about WP 2.5 for months now. According to the WordPress Testers mailing list, which is where people who beta test new versions of WordPress, WordPress 2.5 will NOT be released today.

Lloyd Budd said, “No. There will be a beta/release candidate before 2.5 is released. Watch http://wordpress.org/development/ for the announcment.”

WP 2.5 was originally scheduled for release one week ago today. It was pushed back to St. Patrick’s Day and no reason was given. Weblogtoolscollection, a great WP blog, had an article that announced the one week delay. There has been no official announcement changing the release date for WP 2.5. But, it was scheduled for release at 8pm EST according to Milestone 2.5, the official development tracker for WordPress. This means that we will know one way or another within the next 15 minutes or more.

Everyone wants WP 2.5 to be as stable and secure as possible. But, eventually there comes a time when software must be released no matter its condition. Matt Mullenweg, WordPress’ founding developer, has previously said that the nightly build beta test of WP 2.5 was so stable that he has been using it on his own blog, Photo Matt. Clearly, that shows that WP 2.5 is stable enough to be released despite bugs.

I prefer for any release to be very stable but if it is between that and waiting another week or more I’d prefer to have this version now and have fixes issued after the fact. It is my belief that I may be in the minority on that issue. But then again, if you look on the official WordPress forum you’ll see a lot of people wanting 2.5 to be released asap.

After spending much time, energy, and many resources on the game I am now getting out of Axis & Allies Minis. I will keep a few items for display purposes but am getting rid of 99% of my stuff. I am keeping all my War at Sea but not my regular AAM.

Therefore all of you lucky readers get the chance to pick up items at good deals. I am more than happy to do trades for War at Sea Set 2 items (or the rare WAS Set 1 item). But, I’d really like to sell the items. Contact me privately and we can work out a deal for whatever you want.

The list below shows everything I have. I have a lot of Reserves set. The list is in order by set and in each set the list goes in order of the checklist. I didn’t include the number for the model. I only list the Quantity, Name, and Rarity. C = Common, U = Uncommon, R = Rare. You can search for certain items by clicking Edit in your web browser and then clicking on Find. Type the name of what you’re looking for and it’ll take you directly to that item.

This is the perfect time to stock up on models for when AAM 1939-1945 North Africa and Eastern Front come out.
