If you visit WordPress.org regularly you might have noticed some
changes around the place. If you don’t, now’s the time to check them
out! We’ve been working hard to improve the site to make it more useful
to everyone, both developers and users, and we hope you like what we’ve
done.
Since WordPress 3.8, you’ve been enjoying improved theme management
in your WordPress admin, and in WordPress 4.0 plugin management was
refined. We’ve brought these experiences from your admin and re-created
them right here on WordPress.org.
