WordPress 4.4 [JAZZER] is a
responsive, standards-driven release
with a focus on making your
content shine.
When you update your website to WordPress 4.4
your images are always a perfect fit.
All of your images, whenever published
are responsive.
Watch them resize on the fly;
on your phone, your tablet, or your computer.
Now that your images look flawless,
you need a theme that enhances
all of your content.
Introducing this year's default theme,
Twenty Sixteen.
With its mobile-first approach, masthead image,
and right sidebar,
Twenty Sixteen is a modern take
on a classic blog design.
You can use one of the five default color schemes,
or create your own.
Whichever you choose, Twenty Sixteen
puts the focus right where it should be,
on your content.
WordPress has always made it
straightforward for you to share
content from your favorite services.
With support for the oEmbed standard
in WordPress 4.4, previews of content
you publish can be displayed on other sites.
This makes your content more shareable,
putting it in front of more people
while keeping you in control.
Some of the best changes to WordPress
are the ones you don't see.
Improvements to the taxonomy system mean
that your content can be organized
in more sophisticated ways.
And plugin and theme developers
can easily add data like color and icons
to your categories.
This release also marks the beginning
of a new era in WordPress development.
After more than two years in the making,
WordPress 4.4 contains the infrastructure
for the brand new WordPress REST API.
These changes don't just improve WordPress itself
but enrich and advance the third-party ecosystem.
Expect to see more powerful plugins,
a new breed of themes,
and applications that don't even appear
to be powered by WordPress.
WordPress 4.4
a forward-looking release that
makes your content shine.
