WordPress 3.0 beta 1 发布

Remember when I posted earlier about the Twitter account, and I said that hopefully you’d find out later today what has been keeping us all so busy? Beta testers, this is your moment: the WordPress 3.0 Beta 1 has arrived!

This is an early beta. This means there are a few things we’re still finishing. We wanted to get people testing it this weekend, so we’re releasing it now rather than waiting another week until everything is finalized and polished. There’s a ton of stuff going on in 3.0, so this time we’re giving you a list of things to check out, so that we can make sure people are testing all the things that need it.

在Twitter上看到，WP3.0 Beta1发布了，于是就翻一下，看看都有什么新功能。还记得我们早先在 Twitter发布的内容吗？当时我说，希望你们能够知道我们这一阵为什么这么忙，这次仍旧是早期版本，有一些功能我们仍旧在完成，在这周末之前，我们想 我们的小白们能够测试3.0Beta，而不是等到下一周，什么东西都完成的很精致之 后才开始。3.0中包含了很多新功能，所以呢，我们列了个表，让你们明白改变了什么。

You Should Know:

• The custom menus system (Appearance > Menus) is not quite finished. In Beta 2, the layout will be different and a bunch of the functionality will be improved, but we didn’t want to hold things up for this one screen. You can play with making custom menus, and report bugs if you find them, but this is not how the final screen will look/work, so don’t get attached to it.
• The merge! Yes, WordPress and WordPress MU have merged. This does not mean that you can suddenly start adding a bunch of new blogs from within your regular WordPress Dashboard. If you’re interested in testing the Super Admin stuff associated with multiple sites, you’ll need some simple directions to get started.
• We’re still fiddling with a few small things in the UI, as we were focused on getting the more function-oriented code finished first. For example, we’re getting a new icon for the Super Admin section.

你需要知道的：

自定义菜单系统（Appearance > Menus）还没有完全做完，在下一版本也就是Beta2的时候，布局将会有所不同，并且大量的功能也将升级，但我们不想因为这事不把它放出来，当然了， 你仍旧可以玩玩这个功能，如果你找到了BUGS，我们也很欢迎你Feedback一下。
合体，是的，WP MU和WP已经合体了。但也不意味着你现在就可以直接在后台添加很多博客了，如果你对超级管理员才行的多站点的东西感兴趣的话，那你仍旧需要一些简单的说明才 可以开始。
目前我们仍旧在做一些和UI有关的工作，因为我们之前都将功能的代码的完成作为重点。

Things to test:

• Play with the new default theme, Twenty Ten, including the custom background and header options.
• Custom Post Type functionality has been beefed up. It’s really easy to add new types, so do that and see how it looks!
• WordPress MU users should test the multiple sites functionality to make sure nothing broke during the merge.

Already have a test install that you want to switch over to the beta? Try the beta tester plugin.

Testers, don’t forget to use the wp-testers mailing list to discuss bugs you encounter.

We hope you like it! And if you don’t, well, check back when beta 2 is ready.

要测试的东西：

玩玩新的默认主题，Twenty Ten，包括自定义背景和主题选项。
自定义文章类型功能已经加强，可以很容易的就添加新类型，所以做做看，它是什么样子的。
WP MU的用户，应该测试下多站点功能，以防止合体的过程中产生不可预知的问题。
如果想切换到Beta版，何不试试测试安装插件呢：beta tester plugin
小白们，千万不要忘记使用 wp-testers mailing list 报告给我们你发现的Bugs。
希望你喜欢，如果不喜欢，那赶紧走，不过Beta 2的时候再欢迎你回来。
