WordPress V3.0
Currently, Version 3.0, is in the beta release stage, and is scheduled for final release in May 2010. Here is the list of many of the enhancements and fixes, but please note, things could change before final release!
Highlights
- New menu management feature
- Improved custom post types (try the Custom Post Type UI plugin to see the possibilities)
- Improved custom taxonomies including hierarchical (category-style) support (again, try the Custom Post Type UI plugin to see the possibilities)
- New theme "Twenty Ten" is the only theme in the WordPress distribution, and is now designated the 'fallback' theme
- Improved child theme support; child theme use is highly encouraged and as described in the Child Themes article, very simple to accomplish
- The Default (Kubrick), and Classic themes, are no longer included in the WordPress distribution, but are available in the Theme repository
- Bulk theme update ability
- Standalone WordPress and WPMU code merged (Note: extra domain stuff remains plugin territory for this version)
- Configure a Network (multisite/WPMU) using wp-config.php file
