WordPress 3.6 Beta 1 available for WordPress plugin or theme developer.
Pending the official WordPress 3.6 release very soon, WordPress plugin or
theme developer can now make sure that their extensions are compatible with the
upcoming 3.6 release.
WordPress 3.6 will combine
- Post Formats: Post Formats have been ramped up to have their own UI. Changes in 3.6 also make it possible for theme authors to use templating functions to access the structured data.
- Twenty Thirteen: This release comes with a brand new default WordPress theme. Audio/Video: WordPress 3.6 makes it much easier for you to embed audio and video files into your posts without relying on a plugin.
- Autosave: No more losing content while editing! Posts will be autosaved locally in 3.6. That means that even if your computer dies or you lose connection with your server, your hard work is still saved.
- Post Locking: Ever tried to edit a post and see that someone else is also working on it? Or perhaps they just forgot to log out? In WordPress 3.6 you’ll have the ability to kick them out of the editing screen.
- Nav Menus: A new accordion-based UI gives WordPress nav menus a fresh look. The release also includes a separate tab for bulk-assigning menus to locations.
- Revisions: Post revisions are getting a lot of love in this release. It features a newly re-designed UI with avatars for post attribution and a quick visual overview of the changes made.
