WordPress 3.3 released

The WordPress 3.3 release (code-named "Sonny") is available. "Experienced users will appreciate the new drag-and-drop uploader, hover menus for the navigation, the new toolbar, improved co-editing support, and the new Tumblr importer. We've also been thinking a ton about what the WordPress experience is like for people completely new to the software. Version 3.3 has significant improvements there with pointer tips for new features included in each update, a friendly welcome message for first-time users, and revamped help tabs throughout the interface. Finally we've improved the dashboard experience on the iPad and other tablets with better touch support."

On this topic the LWN site (which is not based on WordPress) is seeing a flood of attempts to exploit the TimThumb vulnerability; anybody running a WordPress site who has not closed this hole should do so immediately.
