WordPress 3.6 Beta 3 is now available!
This is software still in development and?we really?don’t recommend that you run it on a production site?— set up a test site just to play with the new version.?To test WordPress 3.6, try the?WordPress Beta Tester?plugin (you’ll want “bleeding edge nightlies”). Or you can?download the beta here?(zip).
Beta 3 contains about a hundred changes, including improvements to the image Post Format flow (yay, drag-and-drop image upload!), a more polished revision comparison screen, and a more quote-like quote format for Twenty Thirteen.
As a bonus, we now have oEmbed support for the popular music-streaming services Rdio and Spotify (the latter of which kindly created an oEmbed endpoint a mere 24 hours after we lamented their lack of one). Here’s an album that’s been getting a lot of play as I’ve been working on WordPress 3.6:

Plugin developers, theme developers, and WordPress hosts should be testing beta 3 extensively. The more you test the beta, the more stable our release candidates and our final release will be.
As always, if you think you’ve found a bug, you can post to the?Alpha/Beta area?in the support forums. Or, 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.
We’re looking forward to your feedback.?If you find a bug, please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help us fix it.?We’ve already had more than 150 contributors to version 3.6 — it’s not too late to join in!
