To test WordPress 4.1, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-beta-tester\/\">WordPress Beta Tester<\/a> plugin (you&#8217;ll want &#8220;bleeding edge nightlies&#8221;).

Here are some\u00a0highlights of what to test:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our beautiful new default theme, <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2014\/09\/09\/twenty-fifteen\/\">Twenty Fifteen<\/a>. It&#8217;s a clean, mobile-first, blog-focused theme designed through simplicity.<\/li>\n<li>A new <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2014\/11\/11\/focus-v2-demo-video\/\">distraction-free writing mode for the editor<\/a>. It&#8217;s enabled by default for beta, and we&#8217;d love feedback on it.<\/li>\n<li>The ability to automatically install new language packs right from the General Settings screen (available as long as your site&#8217;s filesystem is writable).<\/li>\n<li>A new inline formatting toolbar for images embedded into posts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There have been a lot of changes for developers to test as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2014\/10\/20\/update-on-query-improvements-in-4-1\/\">Improvements to meta, date, comment, and taxonomy queries<\/a>, including complex (nested, multiple relation) queries; and querying comment types (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/12668\">#12668<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>A single term\u00a0shared across multiple\u00a0taxonomies is\u00a0now split into two when updated.
