WordPress 4.6 Launch

Last week, WordPress 4.6 was released. A second major release of 2016, WordPress 4.6 brings some thrilling improvements and fixes several bugs. If your website is built using WordPress, then you should certainly upgrade it to the newer version in order to take the advantages of the new features.

By using the native system font now, the admin area will load faster, and you will actually feel more at home on whichever device and platform you use.

With WordPress 4.6, whenever you install or update your WordPress plugins and themes, you will not have to leave that page, like you had to with the previous versions. The installations and updates happen on the same page, so the time you have to spend on these processes will drastically reduce.
