The latest version of Wordpress is now available in beta form for testing ahead of the predicted final release date of December 10th.

A new major version of popular CMS application Wordpress is now available to install. We covered the major changes a few weeks ago.

>Wordpress 4 is the imminent major version upgrade of this popular website CMS. They are currently releasing a series of beta versions with a view to making the final version available on August 10th. So what new features should we be expecting in Wordpress 4?

A "Zero-day" security vulnerability has been found in a Wordpress image resizing library called TimThumb. A "library" is a section of code that other bits of code can call on to perform a common task. Therefore, this means that lots of disparate plugins rely on this one "library" to perform image resizing. That in turn means that while it is only this one library that has the issue, many Wordpress plugins are now at risk because they all use this library.
