I’m pleased to announce the availability of WordPress 3.7 Beta 1.<\/p>\n
For WordPress 3.7 we decided to shorten the development cycle and focus on a few key improvements. We plan to release the final product in October, and then follow it in December with a jam-packed WordPress 3.8 release, which is already in development. Some of the best stuff in WordPress 3.7 is subtle — by design! So let’s walk through what we’d love for you to test, just in time for the weekend.<\/p>\n
Automatic, background updates.<\/strong>\u00a03.7 Beta 1 will keep itself updated. That’s right — you’ll be updated each night to the newest development build, and eventually to Beta 2. We’re working to provide as many installs as possible with fast updates to security releases of WordPress — and you can help us test by just installing Beta 1 on your server and seeing how it works!<\/p>\n When you go to\u00a0Dashboard \u2192 Updates<\/strong>, you’ll see a note letting you know whether your install is working for automatic updates. There are a few situations where WordPress can’t reliably and securely update itself. But if it can, you’ll get an email (sent to the ‘Admin Email’ on the General Settings page) after each update letting you know what worked and what didn’t. If it worked, great! If something failed, the email will suggest you make a post in the support forums or create a bug report.<\/p>\n Here are some other things you should test out:<\/p>\n This software is still in development<\/strong>, so we don’t recommend you run it on a production site. I’d suggest setting up a test site just to play with the new version. To test WordPress 3.7, try the\u00a0WordPress Beta Tester<\/a>\u00a0plugin (you’ll want “bleeding edge nightlies”). Or you can\u00a0download the beta here<\/a>\u00a0(zip).<\/p>\n As always,\u00a0if you think you\u2019ve found a bug<\/strong>, you can post to the\u00a0Alpha\/Beta area<\/a>\u00a0in the support forums. Or, if you\u2019re comfortable writing a reproducible bug report,\u00a0file one on the WordPress Trac<\/a>. There, you can also find\u00a0a list of known bugs<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0everything we\u2019ve fixed<\/a>\u00a0so far.<\/p>\n Happy testing!<\/p>\n WordPress three seven I’m pleased to announce the availability of WordPress 3.7 Beta 1.
