All the WordPress haikus

Wordpress Logo

Those of you in the world of bloggy geekdom will know that WordPress 3.4 launched a while ago, at the time of writing hitting 23 million downloads.

Most new releases of WordPress are heralded with a haiku. I thought it would be nice to keep a list of them all. I’ll update this as time goes on, and I’ll try to get an interview with someone about haikus and WordPress…

3.4.2

Fixes for some bugs
Back to work on 3.5
It’s time to update

3.4.1

Green was a bit green
We have hardened it up some
Update WordPress now

3.4 RC3

The new live preview
Nearing perfection, and yet?
Not yet. RC3

3.3 RC 2

Sometimes time slows down
between releases – like now
This is RC2

3.3 RC 1

Stayed up late tonight,
Hammering toward RC1.
Now with more icons!

3.3 Beta 4

Thought 3 was the last?
Ha ha! Beta 4 is here –
Better get testing!

3.3 Beta 3

These silly haikus –
With so many releases,
I run out of words.

3.3 Beta 2

Welcome for the new –
3.3 at beta 2.
(IE7, woo!)

3.3 Beta 1

Features almost done…
3.3 at Beta 1.
Test it now — have fun!

3.2.1

JSON, the admin
A little bit tidier
Edge cases covered

3.1.1

Only the geeks know
What half this stuff even means
Don’t worry — update

3.1

There wasn’t a hiaku for this release, so I asked @nacin, and he wrote one for me

Three dot oh dot one
Linking, admin bar, and more
One haiku for you.

3.1 RC3

Pulling the AJAX –
sometimes you need to step back
and show some restraint.

3.1 RC2

Rounding up stragglers
Last few bugs for 3.1
Go test RC2

3.1 Beta 2

Practice makes perfect
is what they say about things,
but sometimes it’s not.

In this case it is
not practice but refinement,
and then more testing.

You can help WordPress!
Now: 3.1, beta 2
is here; needs testing.

But! Remember this:
Only install on test sites,
as YMMV.

3.0.5

Three point oh point five
Enhances security
Three point one comes soon

3.0.2

Fixed on day zero
One-click update makes you safe
This used to be hard

3.0.1

Three dot oh dot one
Bug fixes to make you smile
Update your WordPress

Others

Having been through the entire release archive on the wordpress.org blog, I think these are all the official haikus. Chuck me a comment for your favourites on other releases, and I’ll consider putting them in!
