Development by Davis: “A look inside Code for America” plus 1 more

Posted: 28 May 2012 07:00 AM PDT

Last week while I was in San Francisco for the Open Source Business Conference I stopped by to visit Code for America. I arranged some office time a few weeks ago when I was planning my travel.

WordPress 3.4 Release Candidate

Posted: 27 May 2012 10:18 AM PDT

The first release candidate (RC1) for WordPress 3.4 is now available.

An RC comes after the beta period and before final release. We think we're done, but with millions of users and thousands of plugins and themes, it's possible we've missed something. So if you haven't tested WordPress 3.4 yet, now is the time! Please though, not on your live site unless you're adventurous.

With more than 500 tickets closed, there are quite a few changes. Plugin and theme authors, please test your plugins and themes now, so that if there is a compatibility issue, we can figure it out before the final release.

If you are testing the release candidate and think you've found a bug, please post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums. If any known issues crop up, you'll be able to find them here.

To test WordPress 3.4, try the WordPress Beta Tester plugin (you'll want "bleeding edge nightlies"). Or you can download the release candidate here (zip).

If you'd like to know which levers to pull in your testing, visit the About page ( → About in the toolbar) and check out the list of features! You'll definitely want to try the live theme previews.
