Automattic released version 4.2 of WordPress, which is named “Powell” after jazz pianist Bud Powell. It’s now available for download/update. The company says its new features are designed to help bloggers communicate and share.

For one, there’s a new “Press This” feature in the tools menu, which you can add to your browser bookmark bar or on your mobile screen. When you have it installed, you can share your content quickly.

The update includes extended character support as well. In a blog post Matt Mullenweg writes:

It also includes emoji.
