WordPress 3.3 Released

5 months, 4 betas, 3 release candidates, 2 many developers to name, 1 jazz saxophonist…Wordpress 3.3 has lift off.

If you’re not running a self hosted WordPress blog, move on, there’s nothing to see here. If, on the other hand, you are, then you, like me, will be delighted by the news that WordPress 3.3 aka ‘Sonny’ (named in honour of jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt…nice…) is available for immediate download.

Headline features include a new drag and drop uploader that automatically detects file type; a Tumblr importer; hover menus; total recall of widget settings when switching themes; more flexible permalinks; better co-editing; a revamped help system and better iPad support.

The aim with this release is to improve the overall WordPress experience and to make it more accessible to newbies. Having just upgraded to Sonny and had a brief jam session with him, I would say that WordPress 3.3 successfully achieves this aim. Now that it has, I hope that WordPress 3.4 will focus on total social media integration.
