WordPress 4.0 Beta 1 發布
WordPress 4.0 Beta 1 發布，此版本仍在繼續開發，不建議運行在生產環境中。測試 WordPress 4.0 可以使用 WordPress Beta Tester 插件或者下載最新版本 (zip)。
WordPress 4.0 計劃下個月發布，WordPress 4.0 beta 版本改進內容如下：
可視化編輯器中可以通過 URLs 嵌入預覽功能，也可以通過媒體模態上的“從 URL 中插入” 標簽來實現(#28195, #15490)
媒體庫中在現有的列表視圖的基礎上添加了“網格”視圖(#24716)
運行安裝進程的時候提供語言選擇選項 (#28577)
必要的時候，編輯器可以智能的縮放大小，并且調節頂部和底部條的固定位置 (#28328)
改善了 TinyMCE 視圖和鍵盤，游標的交互方式，比如圖庫預覽(#28595)
Customizer 的部件可以會在獨立的面板中加載(#27406)
改進了一些格式化功能
- Previews of embedding via URLs in the visual editor and the “Insert from URL” tab in the media modal. Try pasting a URL (such as a WordPress.tv or 油Tube video) onto its own line in the visual editor. (#28195, #15490)
- The Media Library now has a “grid” view in addition to the existing list view. Clicking on an item takes you into a modal where you can see a larger preview and edit information about that attachment, and you can navigate between items right from the modal without closing it. (#24716)
- We’re freshening up the plugin install experience. You’ll see some early visual changes as well as more information when searching for plugins and viewing details. (#28785, #27440)
- Selecting a language when you run the installation process. (#28577)
- The editor intelligently resizes and its top and bottom bars pin when needed. Browsers don’t like to agree on where to put things like cursors, so if you find a bug here, please also let us know your browser and operating system. (#28328)
- We’ve made some improvements to how your keyboard and cursor interact with TinyMCE views such as the gallery preview. Much like the editor resizing and scrolling improvements, knowing about your setup is particularly important for bug reports here. (#28595)
- Widgets in the Customizer are now loaded in a separate panel. (#27406)
- We’ve also made some changes to some formatting functions, so if you see quotes curling in the wrong direction, please file a bug report.
- 免費、開源
- 安裝方便、快捷。
- 可定制性非常高
- 眾多的插件和主題

This software is still in development, so we don’t recommend you run it on a production site. Consider setting up a test site just to play with the new version. To test WordPress 4.0, try the WordPress Beta Tester plugin (you’ll want “bleeding edge nightlies”). Or you can download the beta here (zip).
4.0 is due out next month, but to get there, we need your help testing what we’ve been working on:
If you think you’ve found a bug, you can post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums. We’d love to hear from you! If you’re comfortable writing a reproducible bug report, file one on the WordPress Trac. There, you can also find a list of known bugs and everything we’ve fixed so far.
Developers: Never fear, we haven’t forgotten you. There’s plenty for you, too – more on that in upcoming posts. In the meantime, check out the API for panels in the Customizer.
WordPress是一種使用PHP語言開發的博客平臺，用戶可以在支持PHP和MySQL 數據庫的服務器上架設自己的網志。也可以把 WordPress 當作一個內容管理系統（CMS）來使用。WordPress 是一個免費的開源項目，在GNU通用公共許可證下授權發布。
WordPress 被認為是Michel Valdrighi所開發的網志平臺b2 cafelog的正式繼承者。“WordPress”這個名字出自 Christine Selleck 的主意，他是主要開發者Matt Mullenweg的朋友。
它有以下幾個特點：
海量的插件和主題可以說是 WordPress 最大的特色了，沒有哪一個 Blog 平臺擁有如此多的插件和主題，擁有如此多的用戶和愛好者。
