WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard).Wordpress 3.0
Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.)
Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation.
As a user, you will love the new lighter interface, the contextual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements, bulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click, and blah blah blah just watch the video.

WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious”
So what did I do first? I waited. I have a bunch of clients relying on their installations of WordPress. I can’t break anything for them, for you.
When a new piece of software is released, the very first day the “early adopters” try it out and find what breaks in the real world. That’s good, as long as it’s not someone who’s paying me money to keep their site up and running.
I guess that there will be an update, with bug fixes, in 3-7 days, if not sooner. I’ll wait until we get a couple weeks into it. I will put it on my development server, where it can break all it wants. I’ll do my own research on it.
The guys who built the system do an incredible job and I expect it to be pretty close to flawless. As soon as it IS flawless, then I’ll start your upgrades.
Until then, we’ll sit and watch the Lakers beat the Celtics for the Championship! Yeah, they did! Woo hoo!
Reporter: Kobe, what does it mean, to you personally, to win this championship?
Kobe: It means I got one more than Shaq! (laughter)
