WordPress is probably the most powerful CMS platform used worldwide. The reason of its so much popularity is its easy to use functions and user friendly nature. Anyone with a little bit knowledge of blogging and internet can go ahead with this great platform. All this enjoyment never ends here since you can make a shop in WordPress using WooCommercce whose functionality is just like same as given by PrestaShop, Magento and OpenCart etc.
Recent Version History of WordPress
Here we are just talking about recent version starting from WordPress 4.2 that was released 2 months ago. WordPress 4.2 included a lot of features like theme viewing without installation, Press This, symbols support etc. Right after the release of this version, a security scripting threat was detected that made the version vulnerable for hackers. Right after this problem reporting, WordPress released major security updates in version of 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 and now the developers are working on releasing WordPress 4.3 in August which will be major update after 4.2.
