Kabar gembira bagi pengguna Wordpress, pagi ini ini dapet email dari Matt Mullenweg yang isinya memberitahukan bahwa Wordpress kini telah merilis versi terbaru. Wordpress 3.0 dengan code rilis "Thelonious". Banyak fitur yang ditawarkan termasuk ditambahkannya Themes default baru yang disebut Twenty Ten, lebih dari 1.200 pembaharuan bugs dll.

Bagi yang menggunakan self hosting bisa langsung melakukan upgrade dari Dashboard "WordPress 3.0 is available! Please update now." atau melalui menu Tools > Upgrade. Selain itu, dengan perkembangan teknologi saat ini, update aplikasi juga bisa dilakukan melalui control panel hosting seperti cPanel, Direct Admin dll.

Berikut Isi Email dari Matt Mullenweg :

You've probably already seen the notice in your dashboards, so I'll keep
this one short and sweet:

3.0 is faster, stabler, and more secure, so you can focus on what 
matters (your audience) and let the rest fade to the background.

Custom post types, MU merge, menu editor, Twenty Ten theme, over 1,200 
bug fixes... there's so much to enjoy in this new release, we're really 
proud of it. It's the best WordPress yet, and available for a limited 
time for only free ninety nine. ;)

Tell your friends, help them upgrade, write new themes that use the new 
features, spread the good word.

Love,

Matt Mullenweg

Informasi release Wordpress 3.0 :

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.)
