WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” Final Telah Dirilis

Hari ini (17/06/2010) tim WordPress telah meluncurkan versi final platform blogging terbarunya yaitu WordPress 3.0 Final yang diberi nama kode (code name) “Thelonious”.

Beberapa fitur baru di WordPress 3.0 ini terutama antara lain adalah penggabungan WordPress MU dan kode inti WordPress, yang memungkinkan pengguna sebuah situs blog membuat blog multi-site. Selain itu juga tampilan tema (theme) default baru bernama Twenty Ten.

Berikut adalah kutipan langsung dari blog pengembang WordPress.

Arm your vuvuzelas: WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. As a user, you will love the new lighter interface, the contextual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements, bulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click, and blah blah blah just watch the video. (In HD, if you can, so you can catch the Easter eggs.)

For a more comprehensive look at everything that has improved in 3.0 check out 3.0’s Codex page or the long list of issues in Trac. (We’re trying to keep these announcement posts shorter.) Whew! That’s a lot packed into one release. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the 3.X cycle we’ll be in for the next two and a half years.
