WordPress 3.3 Release Candidate 1 Is Here

WordPress 3.3 is almost here. In fact, the team thinks it's done, but it's putting out a release candidate to make sure. In an ideal world, there would be no more bugs and this is the version that will get pushed to millions of users around the world.

But things rarely work out this way, so expect some last minute bugs to creep up at this stage and perhaps another release candidate to fix them.

"Release Candidate stage means we think we’re done and are about ready to launch this version, but are doing one last check before we officially call it," WordPress announced.

"So take a look, and as always, please check your themes and plugins for compatibility if you’re a developer," it said.

Wordpress 3.3 has several headlining features, the new media uploader seems a worthwhile update. Some tweaks and new features in the Admin dashboard should also keep people interested.
