If you would like to read the long version of this summary, feel free to read them over WPMU.org site.
I didn’t know that WordPress 3.7 would be released this october considering that 3.6 hasn’t even been released it , though 3.6 RC has been released.
Interesting facts.
At the moment I’m only thinking of WP 3.6.
Genesis 2.0 is ready to be released as soon as 3.6 is available, but until then…
Good to know that WordPress are always ahead of the game and thanks for putting out the info.
Wow! 3.7 and 3.8? That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing as I had no idea about them.
Keeping tune closely to this.
Keep in touch.
