[Heads Up] WordPress v4.4 Being Released 8th December 2015

With the major v4.4 release due in around 8 days time, expect lots of rapid plugin & theme updates as developers rush to make sure their software works perfectly with v4.4.

Lots of new features in v4.4, like Responsive Images:

Support for responsive images is of the most exciting updates in WordPress 4.4. WordPress has added responsive image support to serve appropriate image sizes by default to all users.

WordPress will now load an appropriate image based on user’s device and screen size. This is done by adding native “srcset” and “sizes” support to WordPress.

ALWAYS take a backup of your site BEFORE doing any major updates, as a reasonable percentage of sites usually end up trashed as a result of conflicts.

Don’t say you weren’t warned!

PS I expect Mark will be releasing v9 to coincide with the new WordPress update.
