Hi boys and girls, have you been good this year?

Elvin Jones, famous Jazz drummer, is the namesake of release version 3.5 which comes with a host of goodies:
1) Totally revamped media handling – uploading and management is now a breeze
2) Retina ready throughout including icons, dashboard, etc
3) For developers:
-
a) New Tumblr Importer
b) Links manager removed from new installs
c) Multisite switch_to_blog() is now faster and more reliable
d) You can now install Multisite in a sub-directory.
e) New external libraries: Underscore, Backbone JS libraries
f) WP_Comment_Query and WP_User_Query classes now support meta queries just like WP_Query.
g) Post objects are now instances of a WP_Post class
