Almost-beta WordPress 3.1 is now running for 15 million blogs on WP.com, the feedback has been really good already and hopefully we’ll iron out some of the few remaining bugs before we do the beta release. The link gives a nice overview of some of the user-facing features of 3.1.
This is very good news. I can’t wait for the beta!
Bro open source rocks after Richard Stallman and Linus Torwalds you the next valuable person on earth(as by me)!!
Internal linking is nice…LOOOOOOOOOOVE the IE9 support!!!
Nice, can’t wait for the stable to be released 🙂
need it for my site 😉
Very cool, I’m excited about the link find/replace feature… there is a plugin that does that, but I’m excited about native support- keep up the great work matt!
Can’t wait to see what else is ahead for WP.com, especially if the future holds more Post Formats (beyond asides and gallery, that is).
And speaking of asides, we’re now up to 15 million blogs from the 13 million you mentioned at WCJeru in September? (!)
Yep, we added over 900k new blogs in the past month.
So… I’ll finally upgrade from 3.0b2 to 3.1b? 🙂 Keep up the great work!
Really great! Looking forward to use it on my blog.
WordPress is the best blogging platform! Period! 3.1 rocks…I am already using it in my blogs…
Thanks Matt and your team for the job! I’m so hopeful with the internal link feature, It could save a lot of time to us. Regards from southern Spain.
Awesome! I can’t wait! I am looking forward to the option of different post styles (links, quotes, etc).
Did you say 900,000 new blogs – wow! I’m excited that the new release will fix some of the bugs I have been experiencing when using the IE9 browser. Thanks!
Matt (not the ma.tt) and Sean obviously don’t blog at wordpress.com or they might not be so enthusiastic.
That’s exciting. I’m especially looking forward to the ‘Post Formats’ feature, which Lorelle said is not yet available.
fantastic news, i want it. I want the beta!
Great news! I will give it a try as soon as it will be released.
