WordPress 3.1 Beta is about to Release
The cycle has been completed now, with all the existing features WordPress is going to squashing the computer worms. WordPress is requesting its users to at least try this new version despite the fact that this version is still under development process. That’s why I am not recommending you guys to run this version directly on your running website but at least you can test this version on a test site. The WordPress intimates its existing users to report when they find any breaks or bugs otherwise if you are a software developer then you can send a resolution regarding the problem.
It is expected that this version of WordPress is projected beta period. According to the WordPress authorities, as they will fix the expected errors and bugs this beta 3.1 version will be released. The version is under testing process and sooner it will be under your reach.
In case you would like to test this beta version you might have a look at How to Report Bugs on WordPress News. Check out some exciting features of this beta version:
You can post formats and search various themes. This version is compatible with internal links and admin bar. Even more, Ajaxified admin is available with WordPress Beta 3.1. Updated tiny MCE and Multi-taxonomy queries are additional features of this latest version of WordPress. Enjoy custom-type index pages and CSS cleanup (Admin) with this version. User and Network Admin are other new features. Also you are facilitated with password reset services.
Although there are some things that are still to be finished but still this version is almost ready to use and that things don’t worth so much. It is expected that such issues will be overcome soon and the version will be ready to use. Keep in mind, as the updates will be finished this version will be released. Before using the beta version you should be aware of some certain things:
Fatal Error: It may be in the case when the function calls to a Member Function named Page() on a Non-Object, i.e. in /wp-inlcludes/query.php and the result may be any Conditional Tag. The problem occurs if there is something wrong with any particular theme or plug-in. Actually a program, which is responsible for inspecting the Conditional tag as you request the query, generates this problem. In previous version (3.0) this program returned the false value and stayed silent but in 3.1 version it is a fatal error. The problem will be resolved in final release; therefore you have a chance to show your technical skills.
Be sure to check the bug lists before launching your query or reports. May be the problem you are going to report is already reported by someone else. But remember, if you find something that is not reported before then immediately inform it. Even you can raise the issue in Alpha/Beta Forum or send a mail at wp-testers list.
Download the WordPress 3.1 Beta 1 and enjoy blogging. WordPress is waiting your comments, response and queries regarding the version.
