WordPress 3.5 Released Today!

[Harold Mansfield]

...we’ve spent a lot of time refreshing the styles of the dashboard, updating everything to be Retina-ready with beautiful high resolution graphics, a new color picker, and streamlining a couple of fewer-used sections of the admin.

Thanks for the update on Elvin.

Funny. I jumped into this section to post the same thing. :)

Anyone who adds images or other media to posts and pages is going to like this update. They completely reworked the media uploaded. I think it'll be easier for people to add media and manage their entire media libraries. The video Harold linked to is only a minute and a half so a quick watch to see what's new.

Thanks for the link to the video. I had read that 3.5 would rethink media loading and for me that is a very welcome change. I know I was probably missing some shortcuts but it was really painfully slow for me to load an image into a post.

I just upgraded one of the EnMart blogs to 3.5 this morning. The way it handles media is very different, but I liked it. Much easier to find photos I'd already uploaded.

Awesome! I have a few website I'll be starting in January and this would definitely help!

Unfortunately for me I just finished sites for 3 different photographers. Too bad the new media management didn't come last year. Oh well. Here are some other posts talking about what's new. It's more than media management.
