Back in November, it was announced that WordPress 2.4 would be delayed, moving its expected arrival date to January 24, 2008. Now it looks like it won’t be arriving at all.

According to several sources, it looks like the team wants to avoid a rushed release and instead focus on the March deadline for WordPress 2.5. As a result, we will not see a WordPress 2.4 at all, but instead move straight to WordPress 2.5.

It looks like in addition to the (unanticipated) new admin panel and security updates, we can expect some significant changes to the WordPress codebase. Due to the delay, I think this is a good move. I’m not a fan of rushed releases, so a little extra wait doesn’t bother me.
