A few fun and useless facts I collected while mining through 54 WordPress releases, from 0.7.1 to 3.0.1: The latest version of WordPress, 3.0.1 as of publishing, has 3240 PHP functions defined. The first version (0.7.1) had 309 Across all WordPress versions, 3920 PHP functions have been defined and used On average, each ".X" release (2.1, 2.9…) introduces 225,2 new…
Getting to know if a function is deprecated, when it was introduced or when it was dropped is important for coders who want to maintain plugins and theme through several WordPress versions. For them, I've updated my WordPress Functions Implementation History Tool Now covering 45 versions of WordPress through 0.7.1 to 2.7 and more than five years of WordPress history!
