Blogspam. Here's the official announcement: https://wordpress.org/news/2015/08/billie/

I wrote about a lot of developer facing features and linked to source materials to help folks get more information that are not blogspam at all. I appreciate your feedback on my work though, really; you're such a nice guy.

Very nice new features especially the menu customization and preview. Some of my current clients will be very happy that they can finally see what the menu looks like without flying blind. Hopefully this also works with content blocks in menus as well.

I've only once had to keep a WP site up and running, and although the code has a ton of smell, most of my work there consisted of only a few clicks. I'm surprised at how effective Wordpress is as a platform, even if it's slow, and hope that they make a major version move to cleanup some of the cruft in their codebase soon. Dropping PHP4 constructors is a small step in the right direction, forcing plugin developers to do the same would be another. Kudos Wordpress, and thanks for the overview to the author (I'd never have bothered to read it otherwise)

I think the parent is referring to the fact that some browsers warn about your blog including unsafe scripts (try to load your link in Chrome or Firefox for e.g.). While this is concerning, I wouldn't go as far as qualifying the article as blogspam though.

Fwiw the mixed content warning is from VideoPress, which is also used in the WordPress.org announcement and also throws the same error. That said, I reported it to the right people and it's likely getting fixed across the board. So while I highly doubt that's what the commenter was referring to, your followup made the web just a bit better, so thanks!

Thanks for writing up your post. I'd say it certainly added some value that wasn't in the official release.

The perfect thing of Wordpress is that it really helps to upgrade from (very) older version to the new one.

Yah, some months ago I upgraded a wordpress 2.3.3 (released in 2008, http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.3.3) to version 4.1 :) I only needed to fix some minor problems!

I will wait 5 years from now to see if I can move from this 4.1 to another one. Sorry Wordpress 4.3 ;)
