On January 20th, StudioPress updated the Genesis Framework to version 1.8. The framework comes with a new front end design.

WordPress 3.3 Beta 4 released and available for download. If you want to test out the WordPress 3.3 Beta 4 – set up a test site just to play with the new version. If you break it (find a bug), please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help the WordPress community to fix it.

Jane Wells describes it in the post:

With all our major tickets closed, we are very close to a release candidate. In Beta 4 we’ve fixed a bunch of bugs, cleaned up the UI, added real text in some of the screens that still had placeholder text in Beta 3 (post-update screen, the Dashboard welcome area, new feature pointers), and generally tightened things up. We updated to jQuery 1.7.1 and addressed a LOT of bugs.

What are your thoughts on WordPress 3.3 Beta 4? Please let us know in the comments below.
