WordPress 5.1 Beta 2 is now available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This software is still in development,<\/strong> so we don\u2019t recommend you run it on a production site. Consider setting up a test site to play with the new version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways to test the WordPress 5.1 beta: try the WordPress Beta Tester<\/a> plugin (you\u2019ll want to select the \u201cbleeding edge nightlies\u201d option), or you can download the beta here<\/a> (zip).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress 5.1 is slated for release on February 21<\/a>, and we need your help to get there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 110 tickets have been closed<\/a> since beta 1<\/a>, many of which are documentation and testing suite improvements. Here are the major changes and bug fixes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
