List of improvements: https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.3

Since I didn't spot the link right away.

Yay! :)

Hi Matt! Congrats on the release - I just moved back to WP mainstream from a performance-oriented fork I'd been working on.

Was about to hit the downvote button, but then I realized it was you :)

Software developers can really learn a lot from the wordpress video style of showing new updates and enhancements. Great work!

Looking good. The flyout vs accordion wars seems never-ending.

I won't complain, but still prefer the accordion style, it's more visible, memorable, requires less dexterity from novice users, and adapts better to input methods other than a mouse.

Great job "not complaining" ;)

Commenting here instead of at WP.org makes it more of a rant than complaint :)

I’m glad to see that, after so many years, WordPress will no longer create a URL like

yourblog.com/i-said-“here’s-johnny!”

whenever you enter a title that includes quotes

Stitt over Rollins? woah...thats brave

As far as I know, WordPress has never been named after a living jazzer.

How can you name a release after Sonny Stitt before naming a release after Charlie Parker?

We plan to be around for a while. :)

how does the "ipad optimization" affect onswipe and similar companies?

It shouldn't. The optimization is just responsive design for the admin area. Twenty Eleven[1], the default theme, has a responsive design as well. I don't see either of those things taking away from a business like Onswipe. Until more responsive design themes get into the WP repository, that is.

Hopefully it disables it.
