The release candidate for WordPress 4.1 is now available.
We’ve made a lot?of refinements over the last few weeks. RC means we think weโre done, but with millions of users and thousands of plugins and themes, itโs possible weโve missed something. We hope to ship WordPress 4.1 on Tuesday, December 16, but we need your help to get there. If you havenโt tested 4.1 yet, now is the time! (Please though, not on your live site unless youโre adventurous.)
Think you’ve found a bug? Please post to the?Alpha/Beta support forum. If any known issues come up, you’ll be able to?find them here.
To test WordPress 4.1 RC1, you can use the?WordPress Beta Tester?plugin or you can?download the release candidate here?(zip).?If you’d like to learn more about what’s new in WordPress 4.1, visit the About screen in your dashboard (
?โ About?in the toolbar) or check out the beta announcement.
Developers,?please test your plugins and themes against WordPress 4.1 and update your plugin’s Tested up to version in the readme to 4.1 before next week. If you find compatibility problems, we never want to break things, so please be sure to post to the support forums so we can figure those out before the final release.
Be sure to follow along the core development blog, where we’ll continue to post notes for developers for 4.1. (For example: if you’ve written a child theme for Twenty Fifteen, some of the new pagination functions have been renamed for clarity.)
