I’d like to announce the official release of the updated Silent Publish plugin (v2.0) for WordPress.
Adds the ability to publish a post without triggering pingbacks, trackbacks, or notifying update services.
Recommended major update! Highlights: re-implemented; added filters for customization; localization support; use hidden custom field; misc non-functionality changes; verified WP 3.0 compatibility; dropped compatibility with version of WP older than 2.9.
For more details, instructions, screenshots, and the download link, visit the plugin’s official homepage at :

Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.
