Arm your vuvuzelas: WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation.
WordPress 3.0 arrives after a couple months in development process and offers 1,217 bug fixes and updates. There are lots of things to love, for bloggers who get a more improved Dashboard, custom taxonomies and the multi-site functionality. If you would like to try WordPress 3.0 out, you can download the file here.
WordPress has also released a video that covers all of the updates. If you’d like to watch the video, you can watch it below.
