WordPress 3.3 Beta 1 has been released. While this release isn’t ready for live usage yet, it’s time for plugin and theme developers to test their products against the upcoming 3.3 release, and time for you curious folks with test installations to get a sneak peek at what’s new.
Along with a few miscellaneous fixes, WordPress 3.3 adds a new media uploader, an improved admin bar, and fancy fly-out menus in the Dashboard.
Users of this first beta release are encouraged to report any bugs that they find and visit the support forums for help as necessary.
Have you had the chance to tinker around with the new Beta yet, James?
Not yet. I usually wait until we roll it out on WordPress.com before I try it on my own installations. That usually happens around the second beta or first RC.
