Please note that this is a Beta release and not recommended for live sites. If you have a development site, you can upgrade to that and test this release. If you have a live site, again, we caution you not to upgrade to a Beta version. More details on Beta versions is found in this thread. For those upgrading their development sites, you will need the full upgrade routine as well as some other steps for the upgrade.
As there are security updates in this version, a changelog is not provided.
As with other major build releases, do not upgrade with apps/themes/languages installed from third parties until you check with them for issues, even on development sites. Since this is a testing version, you can experience more bugs in a Beta and we ask for any bugs to be reported in our Github (linked below) from a site with no third party products or no customizations. This is to ensure you are testing with standard, default code and nothing interfering.
