Wordpress 2.4 is suppose to be next version of Wordpress Blog/content Management system. However, this has been skipped and there will be no Wordpress 2.4 Infact now all the Wordpress users can look forward to Wordpress 2.5

Why so? Well as per Wordpress Roadmap Wordpress 2.4 should come out by Jan 24, 2008. However with lot of things going around Wp 2.4 has been skipped and now Wordpress 2.5 will be next official release in the end of March 2008.

Matt Mullenweg added… “In light of the big changes happening in the codebase and admin section, we’re going to push back the next release to be aimed for early March.

This is the timeframe when 2.5 was originally schedule for, so we’re treating the originally planned 2.4 in December as a skipped release, as a result of both the holidays and the large changes which we weren’t able to start on until late October.

The new release shall be called 2.5. Various official docs and road-maps
will be updated in due course.”

Echoing same views above, Wordpress 2.4 has been taken out of Wordpress Trac. Now it is time to track Wordpress 2.5 development.
