ContentRobot had a busy winter working and supporting our BlogOnCloud9 WordPress hosting service – and we’re not planning a lazy summer either.

It’s May, and if the Automattic’s road map remains true, WordPress 3.0 is due out sometime this month. (As we wrote this, Beta 1 has just been made public.)

We are always reticent to implement zero point releases and aren’t recommending anyone update til 3.1 has been published. Here are our latest thoughts on this next version of WordPress.
