In October, Wordpress released the new beta version of wp
4.9 beta 1 and 2, to test its features before the official release in November.
If version 4.8 of wordpress is mainly on adding new widgets, improve links in
posts and add new dashboards for recent events, with version 4.9, wordpress
will focus on improving customization. Here are the new customizations of
version 4.9 over version 4.8
Custom Upgrade
Draft function and scheduler
Most notably in custom upgrades is saving drafts and
scheduling posts. According to that, in addition to saving the draft as before,
the new customization of wp allows you to save drafts as a regular post, It is
quite useful for you when editing posts and restoring posts if the edit is
broken.
In addition to that, the post calendar feature makes it
possible to prepare ahead of schedule in case you can not post continuously. you
can use this feature to prepare an event
menu initialization
This feature is added based on feedback from many users, Now
you can easily add custom menus right next to customize quickly.
Version 4.9 is updated support for MySQL server connected to
IPv6 and core update with unit compatible with new update of PHP 7.2. in
addition, wordpress has also enhanced the protection of users from defects from
editing the theme or plugins that they install by warnings when they activate
the first Theme or Plugin edit,
in addition, many other updates help to manage
and use your wordpress more convenient.
last words
After the release of beta 1, wordpress has received many
comments to improve, so the beta of 4.9 beta 2 has been released with over 70
edits from beta 1. You can download wp 4.9 beta 1 to experience as well as
contribute comments for wordpress to complete this version 4.9.
Since this is still experimental, I recommend not running it
on your business website to avoid the unwanted consequences.
Official WordPress 4.9 update is scheduled to ship on
November 14, 2017.
