Role Scoper 1.0.0 Beta 4 supports WP 2.7

Those anxious to try the upcoming WordPress 2.7 beta release can give Role Scoper 1.0.0 beta 4 a test run with it.  This WP 2.7 support is preliminary and subject to further testing.

A few bugs and plugin compatibility issues are also fixed:

  • doc: added RoleScoper_PluginCompat.html to document plugin incompatibilities.  Includes code edit workarounds for Exec-PHP and Maintenance Mode plugins.
  • fixed: Windows Live Writer XML-RPC support (technical FYI: WLW passes post_id=1 for new posts)
  • fixed: WP Super Cache compatibility
  • fixed: For non-Admin users, “Edit Comments” listing omitted some comments, duplicated others
  • fixed: Call to undefined function wpp_cache_flush_group() for some installations

31 Oct Update:

I just discovered this beta release had admin menu display problems when running the ozh menu plugin with WP 2.6.  The Restrictions menu was not displayed properly when viewing Roles, and vice versa.  For expedience, the download “beta4.zip” now actually contains the slightly revised beta4b.
