WordPress 4.7 [LWN.net]

WordPress 4.7 “Vaughan” has been released. This version includes a new default theme, adds new features to the customizer, comes with REST API endpoints for posts, comments, terms, users, meta, and settings, and more. "To help give you a solid base to build from, individual themes can provide starter content that appears when you go to customize your brand new site. This can range from placing a business information widget in the best location to providing a sample menu with social icon links to a static front page complete with beautiful images. Don’t worry – nothing new will appear on the live site until you’re ready to save and publish your initial theme setup."

The joy of "giving it a rest" by giving it a REST.

It is nice that Wordpress now supports adding CSS fragments directly through the user interface to customize small things on the site or a particular page. Previously it was only possible through custom themes, but using those are rather involved.
