The latest version of WordPress, Version 3.0 is now out of Beta and available for download, or upgrade through your WordPress Dashboard. The new release has many new features, updates and bug fixes. WordPress 3.0 is the thirteenth major release of WordPress which has taken 6 months to complete by over 218 contributors.
