WordPress 3.8 Released – Upgrade Happily

[admin]

WordPress 3.8 has been released on December 12, 2013. It is named “Parker” in honor of Charlie Parker.

What’s New

It is the most beautiful release of WordPress mainly to the Admin interface.

Modern Aesthetic

The new WordPress dashboard has a fresh, uncluttered design that embraces clarity and simplicity.

Clean Typography

The Open Sans typeface provides simple, friendly text that is optimized for both desktop and mobile viewing. It’s even open source, just like WordPress.

Refined Contrast

With superior contrast and large, comfortable type, the new design is easy to read and a pleasure to navigate.

WordPress On Every Device

We all access the internet in different ways. Smartphone, tablet, notebook, desktop — no matter what you use, WordPress will adapt and you’ll feel right at home.

High Definition At High Speed

WordPress is sharper than ever with new vector-based icons that scale to your screen. By ditching pixels, pages load significantly faster, too.

Pick a Color

WordPress has included eight color schemes so you can pick your favorite.

1. Default
2. Light
3. Blue
4. Coffee
5. Ectoplasm
6. Midnight
7. Ocean
8. Sunrise

To change your color scheme, just visit your profile.

Refined Theme Management

The new themes screen lets you survey your themes at a glance.

Smoother Widget Experience

Drag-drag-drag. Scroll-scroll-scroll. Widget management can be complicated. With the new design, widgets screen is more streamlined.

Have a large monitor? Multiple widget areas stack side-by-side to use the available space. Using a tablet? Just tap a widget to add it.

Twenty Fourteen

Twenty Fourteen is the new theme.
