WordPress 4.0, nicknamed "Benny" after Benny Goodman, features improvements to the media library including an infinite scrolling grid view, easier embedding of URLs, floating WYSIWYG icons for easier long post editing, and simpler plugin installation. The release was led by Helen Hou-Sandí of 10Up and code was contributed locally by developers including Zoe Rooney, Tracy Levesque, and Evan Herman.
