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.
