WP 4.4-alpha: taxonomy.php makes little babies ;-)

The taxonomy is the basis of categories, keywords (tags) and other rankings in WordPress (like language with xili-language trilogy). Since WP 2.3, all key components are found in the file wp-includes / taxonomy.php. WP 4.4 release announces a big change. The developer will seek information in 3 files:

<?php
/**
 * Core Taxonomy API
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Taxonomy
 * @since 2.3.0
 */

/** Core taxonomy functionality */
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/taxonomy-functions.php' );

/** WP_Term class */
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wp-term.php' );

/** WP_Tax_Query class */
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wp-tax-query.php' );

including the new wp-term class that strengthens the previous object describing the terms methodically …

Added to this is the new term meta table that will be very useful to supplement the description of a tag, for example.

It is too early to draw conclusions but Xili-language will continue to take advantage of these new classes, functions and tables.

For now, Xili-language still works;-)
