[wp-testers] post_class() function now returning IDs instead of slugs?

[Dean Robinson]

Just installed a copy of 2.8 beta1 locally for some dev work and  
noticed that a bunch of styles in my current theme no longer worked.

A bit of investigation tracked it back to the post_class() function,  
which previously returned something like "category-article" etc (using  
the category slug), but now appears to have been changed to return  
classes based on the ID of the category instead, eg "category-107".

Did a quick search and couldn't find anything around why this might of  
been changed, or if its a bug or not.

Personally I prefer "category-slug" to "category-ID" it seems more  
logical and easier to make use of, but perhaps it was changed for a  
good reason, can anyone shed some light on this?

Looks like this was first changed in revision 11300 (10 days ago)


cheers
