The Coming WordPress 3.5 Update

What’s Coming in WordPress 3.5?

WordPress 3.5 Has Over 100 Changes Coming (Due Out December 5, 2012) (Revised Target Date for WordPress 3.5 Release, December 10, 2012)
Some of the more exciting things in WordPress 3.5 are a totally overhauled image and gallery process (drag and drop and multiple images), a massive default theme overhaul (WordPress Twenty Twelve Theme) with many features and external support for oEmbed (drop a link to spawn function) providers such as SoundCloud and Slideshare (amongst several others).  The new WordPress 2012 Theme and massive enhancements to the WordPress 3.5 update keep WordPress the leader of open source and publishing software and the influence of free information distribution throughout the World!
