Just to note, WordPress uses x.y.0 for major releases, so this is no more of a major release than 3.9 or 4.1. It's an awesome release, but don't think of it as "major version 4". :)<p>Congratulations to the contributors on a fantastic release.
Interesting to see WordPress (the software) to evolve better in a new world of competitors like medium, svtble, vix, squarespaces, tumblr etc.<p>The fine balance between the hosted (Wordpress the SAAS) wordpress.com and the open source version running in thousands of hosting providers still works with no big problems.
