WordPress 4.4

Core Update 4.4

To see changes for this update visit http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.4.

The highlights are:

• New Twenty Sixteen Default theme
• WordPress now takes a smarter approach to displaying appropriate image sizes on any device, ensuring a perfect fit every time. You don’t need to do anything to your theme, it just works.
• Embedding Content: Now you can embed your posts on other sites, even other WordPress sites. Simply drop a post URL into the editor and see an instant embed preview, complete with the title, excerpt, and featured image if you’ve set one. We’ll even include your site icon and links for comments and sharing.
