A few core highlights and the state of WordPress 4.5
Brian Krogsgard
WordPress 4.5 should hit beta 1 fairly soon -- like probably within the next 24 hours. In some ways, 4.5 has felt like a hangover release, coming (as releases tend to do) right after a monstrous 4.4, a string of…

WP Engine passed the buck to an unnamed "cloud infrastructure provider" for their big security breach that sparked resetting all accounts on their system. To me, this is still not enough information. Also, I would want to know when they discovered about…
