*WordPress 2.6 Beta 3 Released* – WordPress Beta 3 was released on Tuesday putting the version one step closer to being released. Although it was originally thought that 2.6 would be ready in time for a Monday July 7^th release, there were a few bugs that cropped out which prevented it’s release. Beta 3 actually introduces new features such as, image captions, more inline docoumentation, Add media buttons for the visual editor when in full screen mode, theme preview fixes, gallery sorting fixes and internationalization fixes. If everything goes well, expect July 14^th to be the release date for 2.6. However, there very well could be one more beta before the new version is released. – http://boren.nu/archives/2008/07/08/wordpress-26-beta-3/
