WordPress 4.2 ‘Powell’ was released yesterday. It was named in honour of jazz pianist Bud Powell. There are many new features with WordPress 4.2 with extended character support, the ability to browse and preview themes from Customizer, more support for embeds with links from Tumblr.com and Kickstarter now included.

## rtCampers’ contribution in WordPress 4.2!

At rtCamp, we love contributing to open-source projects. WordPress 4.2 is the 7th consecutive version where someone from rtCamp has contributed to core. Many thanks to [Dipesh Kakadiya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dipeshkakadiya), [Sagar Jadhav](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sagarjadhav), [Ankit Gupta](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ankit-k-gupta), [Ritesh Patel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ritteshpatel), [Paresh Radadiya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pareshradadiya-1) and [Mehul Kaklotar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mehulkaklotar) who have contributed to version 4.2.

We celebrated their contribution by cutting a cake, which by now has become more of a tradition whenever a new version of WordPress is released.
