Be on the lookout for cleaner markup. Also try the new paste handling \u2014 if you paste in a block of text from Microsoft Word, for example, it will no longer come out terrible. (The \u201cPaste from Word\u201d button you probably never noticed has been removed.) It\u2019s possible some plugins that added stuff to the visual editor (like a new toolbar button) no longer work, so we\u2019d like to hear about them (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/24067\">#24067<\/a>). (And be sure to <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/\">open a support thread<\/a> for the plugin author.)<\/li>\n<li>We\u2019ve added <strong>widget management to live previews<\/strong> (the customizer). Please test editing, adding, and rearranging widgets! (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/27112\">#27112<\/a>) We\u2019ve also added the ability to upload, crop, and manage header images, without needing to leave the preview. (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/21785\">#21785<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>We brought 3.8?s beautiful new theme browsing experience to the <strong>theme installer<\/strong>. Check&nbsp;it out! (<a title=\"View ticket\" href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/27055\">#27055<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Galleries<\/strong> now receive a&nbsp;live&nbsp;preview in the editor. Upload some photos and insert a gallery to see this in action. (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/26959\">#26959<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>You can now <strong>drag-and-drop<\/strong> images directly onto the editor to upload them. It can be a bit finicky, so try it and help us work out the kinks. (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/19845\">#19845<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Some things got improved around <strong>editing images<\/strong>. It\u2019s a lot easier to make changes to an image after you insert it into a post (<a class=\"closed\" title=\"View ticket\" href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/24409\">#24409<\/a>) and you no longer get kicked to a new window when you need to crop or rotate an image (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/21811\">#21811<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>New <strong>audio\/video playlists<\/strong>. Upload a few audio or video files to test these.

If you notice any issues with your network, see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/27003\">#27003<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>We now use the <strong>MySQL Improved (mysqli) database extension<\/strong> if you\u2019re running a recent version of PHP (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/21663\">#21663<\/a>). Please test your plugins and see that everything works well, and please make sure you\u2019re not calling <code>mysql_*<\/code> functions directly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Autosave<\/strong> was refactored, so if you see any issues related to autosaving, heartbeat, etc., let us know (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/25272\">#25272<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Library updates, in particular Backbone 1.1 and Underscore 1.6 (<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/26799\">#26799<\/a>).
