Twenty Fifteen Theme

Session Managment
We’re expecting WordPress 4.1 to introduce a new screen for user profiles, which will display a given user’s logged in sessions and allows them to be logged out. This view shows information that could be useful if you have a lot of contributors and are struggling to keep track of their activities, with log-in time, the originating IP address for the login as well as the session expiry date and time.
Fullscreen/Distraction Free Writing improvements
The current full screen mode is very minimalist – focused on the content only with no access to some needed metaboxes. The next version of the Distraction-Free Writing mode will have quick access to all meta boxes, with a single toolbar API. (elements will be hidden/shown using the mouse cursor). These improvements will be based on the Focus plugin.Export Content improvements
In WordPress 4.1 it looks like we’ll have the ability to export specific categories, authors or content published over a particular period of time for even more fine control of content migration. The API for this tool will be the same as it is now, so the exported files are expected to have the same structure as the current iteration.Drop-down lists
Drop down lists will use the Select2 script with a built-in search engine, and the content of the list will be loaded only when needed using AJAX, so sites using this type of list will be loaded faster; more speed is always good news! The Select2 script which will be implemented in the next release is already present in some WordPress plugins such as WooCommerce.Additional languages
In WordPress 4.1 there will be additional languages available for install via the dashboard (after WordPress installation is finished).Other possible changes
- Improved User Interface for installing and updating plugins and themes
- Improvements to media management on mobile devices.
- Meta, Date, and Tax Query improvements.
- Accessibility improvements
