To help celebrate, we’ve upgraded the blog system to WordPress 3.5. The biggest change is the new media manager. It’s easier to use — all you have to do is drag-and-drop your media files onto the popup. It’s especially speedy when you’re making a gallery.
It should also produce better results for you on Retina-level displays, so if you manage your site at all from your iPhone or iPad you’ll have a better experience.
All the details are available here.
Lots of plugins and themes are being updated as well to fully make use of the new features.
WP 3.5 already?
The new media manager looks way smoother and faster, especially for galleries and mobile devices. If you’re still running an older version of WordPress, update it, friends – keeping WP updated is important not just for features, but for security too.
