WordPress 3.1 Released

WordPress 3.1 was released last night.

New features include:

– redesigned linking workflow (makes linking to your other posts and pages easily).

– an admin bar in the header when viewing your site, allowing quick post/page creation. Initially I am not a big fan of this, but hey it might grow on me. There is an option to turn this off however under your profile settings.

– post formats, meta information used by themes

– network admin, moves the Super Admin menu out of the regular admin interface

– list-type admin screens, now sortable by column, better page navigation.

– exporter / importer, has been overhauled.

– advanced queries, something developers will find handy.

– custom content type improvements, again aimed at developers and more advanced functionality.

– refreshed blue admin color scheme

And it also looks like default WP theme, Twenty-10 has has an update aswell.
