Well, it’s official. Google Chrome browser is now available for the Mac and Linux. Information Week has the details:
“We’ve been working hard to deliver a first-class browser for the Mac — it took longer than we expected, but we hope the wait was worth it!” declared Google product manager Brian Rakowski in a blog post. [...]

Donncha wrote yesterday that he was rolling WordPress 2.9 into WordPress MU trunk. In Donncha’s post he notes that to use the beta you may want to manually create the commentmeta table for each blog before doing the upgrade.

Triple J wrote a quick and dirty plugin for it. I revised it a bit today. Notes on usage are at the top of the file. Once the plugin has created to tables you can remove the file. JJJ’s add commentmeta table (0)

When an Ubuntu Beta version is released, you know that the final release is just around the corner. Ubuntu 9.10 or Karmic Koala is scheduled for a late October release. What’s new?

Remember when I mentioned that Justin Tadlock was working on a new plugin to manage roles and capabilities for users in WordPress? A few days ago, Justin announced that the first beta version of the plugin is available to the public. So far, here is what you can do with the plugin.

• Edit Roles: Edit your user roles and their capabilities.
• New Roles: Create new roles for use on your site.
• Content Permissions: Adds a meta box on your write post/page editor that allows you to restrict content to specific roles.
• Widgets: Adds a login form widget and user-listing widget that you can use in any widget area on your site.
• Shortcodes: Creates shortcodes that you can use to restrict or allow access to certain parts of your posts and pages (or any other shortcode-capable area).
• Template Tags: New functions for use within your WordPress theme for various things.
• Private Blog: Allows you to create a private blog that can only be accessed by users that are logged in (redirects them to the login page).

Justin is currently looking for feedback and considering the popularity from when he mentioned the idea, I’m sure he’ll get it. P.S. As for my idea regarding the name of the plugin, how about this: Cap And Role.

2. Prodigy Framework Needs Beta Testers

Nathan Rice has been working on his own framework for a few months now to help give iThemes a solid base to work from. His framework is called Prodigy and the first public developer beta is out and ready to be tested. As it stands, this theme is not for the faint of heart in that right now, it’s developer centric. However, once the beta period winds down and the bugs are squashed, Nathan plans on publishing a series of tutorials explaining the purpose behind the framework, its capabilities, and how to use it.

Head on over and help him out if you’ve got the time.

Exciting news here folks, Donncha has just released the next version of WPMU and we have skipped right ahead to 2.8.1.

You know the drill – download it, test on a non-production site, and nail down as many bugs as you can to file in trac.

There’s some nifty things sneaking in, see if you can find some before I make a list.
