WordPress 3.1 Released

Update your WordPress installations, WordPress 3.1 is released.

Some of the changes in 3.1:

• Internal Linking – no more copying the URLs!
• Admin Bar – not sure what this really is
• Streamlined Writing Interface – hiding some of the usual stuff on the editor screen will make life a little easier.
• Post Formats – New Theme Feature! You can specify what the post format is (gallery, link, image, quote, etc), and themes can now adapt to that
• Network Admin – Here’s a screenshot of the new Network Admin Users screen.  Core super admin tasks are removed from various menus, an organized.
• List-type Admin Screens – native support for sortable columns of list-type screens, better pagination
• Exporter/Importer update – the export/import functionality has been redone to handle structure, terms, and navigation menus (guess they left that out)
• Advanced Queries! – We can finally query multiple taxonomies an custom fields!
• Refreshed Admin color scheme – well, guess you have to do something visual.

I have seen the automatic upgrade pop up in a few client sites, but not all.  If you don’t see it, you can always download and force an update.
