New Wordpress 3.5 Alvin Saw Light

At the most wonderful time of the year, Wordpress prepared a great gift for us - the new release “Alvin”, which has already left a lot of positive feedback from bloggers and developers. This release is named after drummer Alvin Jones, who played with John Coltrane and many others.


If you've been with WordPress all this time, the most significant changes you'll notice are the completely redesigned functionality for uploading photos and creating galleries. The media section has long been a stumbling block and an object of fierce criticism from users. In 3.5, a new theme also appeared - twenty twelve. The clean, responsive design and usability of this theme is ideal for the basic functionality of the CMS and will satisfy the needs of many demanding users. Back in this release, Wordpress was finally able to refresh the dashboard style. High-resolution Retina displays are now supported, and a new color picker is also available in the arsenal.

Note to the developer:
in the new version, the Underscore and Backbone JS libraries were added.

A complete list of changes is available in the Code.
