11 December 2012 by Siobhan McKeown

We’ve been expecting WordPress 3.5 since 5th December, and finally, it’s out: WordPress 3.5 “Elvin” ! The past week has seen the core team working furiously to get it ready. Just take a look at the IRC logs to see how hard they have worked.

The latest version of WordPress has loads of new features:

Gallery management module for better image and gallery management
Better image upload
All media is ready for retina displays
Core now ships with the default Twenty Twelve theme
The Link manager has been hidden
Major improvements to accessibility

You can check out all of the changes on the Codex Version 3.5 page.

Congrats to Nacin and Koop, and the rest of the core team, all of whom have worked so hard over the past few months.

BuddyPress 1.6 Release Candidate 1

21 July 2012 by Tammie Lister

It’s time to get testing those themes and plugins with the release of the BuddyPress 1.6 Release Candidate 1. There are lots of changes in this version – we will have you covered with a more in-depth look once it’s released. We do recommend testing the release candidate though now as, unless a major bug is found, it’s what you will get in BuddyPress 1.6.
