WordPress 3.7 Beta Testers Needed

A new beta for the upcoming version of WordPress is out – and more testers are needed.

In a post at WordPress News, lead developer Andrew Nacin announced WordPress 3.7 Beta 2 was available for download and testing.

Nacin said it had been a “quiet beta period” since Beta 1 was released on September 30 and put a call out for help testing automatic background updates.

Testing is easy – just download and install Beta 2 and it will update each day to the latest development version and then email you the results.

If you find any bugs, you can post to the Alpha/Beta area in the WordPress support forums or file a bug report on WordPress Trac. Trac also lists any known bugs and issues that have been fixed.
