Can you give me an example? Chances are this is for readabilities sake. There shouldn’t be any /extra/ spaces anywhere. The WordPress coding standards do ask us to put spaces in before and after such things as closing and opening brackets, after commas, and things like that. The BP code isn’t minified in anyway, and we’ll probably look into doing that for CSS and JS in future versions, but the PHP code will continue to stay the way it is.
The bp-core.php file is around 4100 lines in 1.2.5. It was around 2100 lines in 1.2.4. That is just one example.
Something strange must be going on on my end. When i download the zip and open it no double spacing, but when i download it from my ftp and open it it has double spaces. I don’t know if that has something to do with the auto-update or some other server cause.
Thanks for checking.
