Upon receiving the little notification in the top of my WordPress dashboard letting me know that version 4.0 of the content management system had been made available, I used the auto upgrade feature to get my site up to date with the latest release.

So far there hasn’t really been anything particularly noticeable or amazing about the new version. Of course, this comes from a five-month break from using WordPress, so I’m sure that I don’t really re­member all the nuances of the previous version anyway. Overall, it seems like the look and feel of 4.0 is almost identical to what it used to be (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing).

I checked out the patch notes for the new version over on WordPress’ website, and according to them, it seems like the biggest differences are in the editing and media panels. Unfortunately, I do all my content creation using the “Text” tab where I write my blog posts in raw source code. So, it seems like I won’t really be taking full advantage of all the media-related stuff that was added in.
