WordPress released its 3.0 version

World's most famous blogging software WordPress unveiled its 3.0 version named Thelonious a few days ago.

Founded in 2003, WordPress is an open source CMS. Its latest major update dates back to March 2008 with the launch of WordPress 2.5.

Among the new features, we can notice a default theme called 'Twenty Ten' which is replacing the rather old-fashion previous one, along with new APIs allowing customized menus, post types, headings, backgrounds, and more.

Another major change is the merge of WordPress Multi User (MU) and the core WordPress install. WordPress MU enables users to administer several blogs. It was a separate tool from WordPress install until now.

Here is the official video presenting WordPress 3.0's new features:
