Development & Support
This area contains much of the development information and resources for others looking for technical support and/or contributing to APL in some way. This also provides a central hub for documentation and planning.
As many may have noticed, APL resides in 2 different repositories, one on WordPress, and the other on GitHub. This is for a few reasons, and even though WordPress offers a development environment within a platform community, its environment can be limiting. Eventually GitHub became a suitable candidate that fits best with WP and an Open Source community with GPL Licensing.
The following are some of the main pages connected to Development & Support...
- Repository (WP & GitHub): SVN & Git development process and workflow.
- Submit a Report (Bug/Idea): Details for submitting a defect, enhancement, or a question.
-
Milestones (Roadmap): Future development and ideas.
- Changelog
- History

Helpful information for checking recent modifications when considering compatible with updates, and possible future changes
Check for Planned Updates
- Milestones: Details regarding ideas and plans for future development.
Current Version Changes
- Changelog: Advanced Post List's main page on WordPress Plugins.
- WP Trac/SVN Log: Developers log for comparing the more recent or two different Revisions.
- GitHub Commit Log: Most recent development logs with GitHub.
These are some of the useful bit of information that played a key role in the design and development of Advanced Post List (APL). WordPress does a wonderful job at providing various types of information for webmasters and theme/plugin developers.
However, as the author of APL, I would like to add some useful types of information in the hopes that others find it just as useful. Much like how some core developers have done by going outside of WordPress.org. whether it's their own personal site or WordPress Stack Exchange.
Please Note: This Resource section is a WIP (Work-in-Progress). More information may be added later on.
Barebone Plugin Design
Singleton Design Pattern
jQuery & jQuery UI
RegEx
Semantic Versioning
APL currently uses the GPL Version 2 license, and resides under the same GPL License as WordPress.
There is currently no plan to update to GPLv3, unless WordPress does likewise. There has been statements that GPLv3 is now accepted, but the WordPress platform remains as GPLv2.
The statement reads as follows.
