WordPress 4.4 Arrives

Posted by timothy on from the straight-outta-texas dept.

An anonymous reader with news of the newest release of open source WordPress, which adds a slew of new features to the blog management tool that will "make your site more connected and responsive." You can download the new release now from WordPress.org/Download (7.3MB). WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that powers 25 percent of the Web. The latest version is dubbed "Clifford" in honor of jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown.

  1. Why is that the goal of a new release? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is the goal of a new release to make a site "more connected and responsive?" Neither of those are the real issue with Wordpress. I'd like to see an emphasis on security and making it much harder to compromise an install of Wordpress. This tells me that the Wordpress devs might not be taking the issue seriously enough. How about at least not exposing internal paths, having separate administrator accounts that aren't logged into like normal users, and otherwise hardening the system? That should be the goal of new releases, otherwise 25% of the internet is full of massive security holes.
