The WordPress Community released WordPress Version 3.0, the latest release of the
very popular content management system that allows web developers to deploy websites
quickly. The release was a culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors which
included 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements.
The new version includes the merge of WordPress-MU and WordPress. WordPress-MU is the
multi-user version of WordPress and the merge means that WordPress may now be used
to run multi-user websites instead of WordPress-MU. Also included is a new theme, called
Twenty Ten, that features the various options available on the new revision. A new addition
that will help content developers is the custom post type that the administrator can define.
This allows types of posts with specific fields to be implemented rather than one type of
post with different fields to fill up depending on what type of post you want to publish.
WordPress users are encouraged to upgrade their installations to take advantage of WP’s
new features.
