The first release candidate for WordPress 4.0 is now available!<\/p>\n

In RC 1, we\u2019ve made refinements to what we’ve been working on for this release. Check out the Beta 1 announcement post<\/a> for more details on those features. We hope to ship WordPress 4.0 next week<\/em>, but we need your help to get there.\u00a0If you haven\u2019t tested 4.0 yet, there\u2019s no time like the present. (Please, not on a production site, unless you\u2019re adventurous.)<\/p>\n

Think you\u2019ve found a bug?\u00a0<\/strong>Please post to the\u00a0Alpha\/Beta area in the support forums<\/a>. If any known issues come up, you\u2019ll be able to\u00a0find them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To test WordPress 4.0 RC1, try the\u00a0WordPress Beta Tester<\/a>\u00a0plugin (you\u2019ll want \u201cbleeding edge nightlies\u201d). Or you can\u00a0download the release candidate here<\/a>\u00a0(zip).\u00a0If you\u2019d like to learn more about what\u2019s new in WordPress 4.0, visit the awesome About screen in your dashboard (\"\"\u00a0\u2192 About<\/strong>\u00a0in the toolbar).<\/p>\n

Developers,<\/strong>\u00a0please test your plugins and themes against WordPress 4.0 and update your plugin’s Tested up to<\/em> version in the readme to 4.0 before next week. If you find compatibility problems, please be sure to post any issues to the support forums so we can figure those out before the final release.\u00a0You also may want to give your plugin an icon<\/a>, which we launched last week and will appear in the dashboard along with banners.<\/p>\n
