Plains laid for WordPress 3.2
WordPress have given some initial details of the plans for WordPress 3.2. Rather than adding lots of new features, this release is going to concentrate on speed improvements and restricting the WordPress minimum requirements (this will allow existing code to be removed and will make adding code in future easier).
