WordPress 4.0 released

A new version of WordPress was announced on September 4.

WordPress 4.0 has some new features, but nothing groundbreaking. Mostly this version is about tweaking existing features to make them more useful: for example, media embedding is now slightly easier. The official change log has the complete list of changes.

WordPress 4.0 doesn’t include any security fixes, so there’s no need to rush your site updates.

About jrivett

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
