WordPress 4.7 Beta 3

WordPress 4.7 Beta 3 is now available!

This software is still in development, so we don’t recommend you run it on a production site

For more information on what’s new in 4.7, check out the Beta 1 and Beta 2 blog posts, along with in-depth field guides on make/core . Some of the changes in Beta 3 include:

• REST API: The unfiltered_html capability is now respected and rest_base has been added to response objects of wp/v2/taxonomies and wp/v2/types, while get_allowed_query_vars() and the rest_get_post filter have been removed.
• Roles/Capabilities: Added meta-caps for comment, term, and user meta, which are currently only used in the REST API.
• I18N: Added the ability to change user’s locale back to site’s locale . (#38632)
• Custom CSS: Renamed the unfiltered_css meta capability to edit_css and added revisions support to the custom_css post type.
• Edit shortcuts: Theme authors should take a look at the developer guide to the customizer preview’s visible edit shortcuts and update their themes to take advantage of them if not already implementing selective refresh.
• Various bug fixes: We’ve made over 50 changes in the last week.
