WordPress new version has lauded the “exciting new features” in this release, which is now available to download and test as a beta.

The software does come with improvements, such as the ability to select language during installation and a grid view for the media library and plugins to work easy with them, but these are hardly ground breaking features. The fact is, users who upgrade to 4.0 when it’s released on August 27 won’t even realize there are any changes.

WordPress 4.0 Features And Updates – Getting acquainted with the new version

• Media Manager - The media manager is an essential aspect of WordPress’s admin panel, which has seen constant improvements. In new version of wordpress media library comes with an advanced “grid view”, making browsing and media selection quick and convenient. Thorough this easy-to-manage grid, you can filter and search files very easily or even switch to the traditional view. It also greatly simplifies the editing process, allowing you to edit information about your attachments without leaving the main Media Library screen.
• Plugin Installers and Management - Although the theme installer and management screens have seen a total revamp over the course of the last two updates, the manage screens and plugin installer have largely remained unchanged. The latest version of WordPress aims to make the process of plugins searching, viewing and management easier and more intuitive. It comes with many improvements, including: better plugin detail listings that features more information, review revisions, contributors, improved filtering of installed plugins and ability to see recently updated plugins.
• Visual Composer - The new Visual Composer of WordPress 4.0 is really great, as it has been enhanced. It features improved frontend editor and backend editor that will save you tons of time when working on your website content. This is one of the main features that promise to make this new version an exciting release.
• Improved Embed Providers - The ability to embed media by pasting a URL on its own line is probably the coolest feature of the WordPress post editor. The provider must be whitelisted in core in order for an oEmbed to work in the post editor or via other oEmbed functions. Version 4.0 adds a number of new options for embedding media from, including: YouTube Playlist URLs, Polldaddy’s short URL format, Mixcloud, TED Talks, CollegeHumor.com and Issuu.
• Improved Internationalization - WordPress has come to recognize that it is growing at a fast pace amongst non-English speakers. As a result, it has made significant improvements to the way it handles translations in order to serve those users better. Making language changes won’t be needed when editing code in the new version. This is expected to open doors to even more users, leading to a considerable expansion of its user base. The WordPress installer of the version 4.0 allows users to set the primary code. Language will also be an option in the general settings. This means the required translation files will be automatically downloaded and placed in their respective directories.
• Post Editor Improvements - Version 4.0 incorporates some extremely useful enhancements to the post editor, which are designed to offer a much better writing experience. These include a smart editor which resizes itself in order to fit the exact dimension of a browser (which ensures that users don’t have to scroll up to click buttons when writing a post) and a newly redesigned menu bar that sticks to the top of the editor (which makes writing much more comfortable).
• Improved Theme Customizer - Unlike in WordPress 3.9 where widgets were added onto Theme Customizer, widgets are now loaded in a separate panel in the new version. There are also improvements to the customizer and Panel API that aim to enable theme and plugin developers to design bespoke panels and user interface elements in the customizer.
• Front End Editor Feature - This feature, like many others, is still under development. With the new Front End Editor, you can edit your content, Post title, media images and etc. from front end. You won’t be required to go to the edit dashboard to make the necessary changes.
