Release scheduled May 2010.
WP 3.0 is available in beta. Use with caution until it’s a stable release! (i.e. don’t install on a blog/site you care about at this stage – testing sites only!!). You can download it from WordPress here: http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.0-beta1.zip
The new features look good so far. A better user interface, custom menu system and posting functionality, and a new default theme for 2010 (which no doubt you’ll swap straight out, but hey!):
It also has a bulk upgrade plugins in the plugins admin area, a new wp login form, and again a restyled admin area overall as is the tradition. Child theme support too should be bettered. Finally it’s worth mentioning that version 3.0 has WP and WP MU (multi user) merged to one.
As always the new release (once out of beta) should streamline the whole admin experience. Time to test! Or just relax and wait for it to land in the admin area soon.
Nice blog. I just bookmarked you on my bloglines.
