WordPress 3.5 Beta 1 has been released and can be easily upgraded to with the Beta Tester plugin. This is the first beta release, so it’s not recommended for live sites, but plugin and theme developers, and anyone with a keen eye for bugs, are encouraged to try it out now.
This new release includes tons of changes to how images are handled, a new color picker, keyboard navigation, support for favorited plugins from the official directory, and much more.
If you run into any bugs, please check the known and fixed issues first, report them if they have not already been reported or fixed, and visit the support forums if you need any help.
Twenty Twelve, the new default theme for WordPress 3.5, has also been released separately and is available for anyone running WordPress 3.4.2 or higher.
