 Update about.php for 3.5. This
 [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2012-11-14&sort=asc#m490698 IRC conversation] still needs to be
 summarized, but mentions a number of things:

  * Media, including the new dialog, the new editor of attachment pages,
 ImageMagick (better image quality if your server supports it)
  * new oEmbed providers
  * HiDPI admin
  * plugin favorites
  * smoother/lighter experience (like removing options and cruft, TinyMCE
 looking sharp, button styles, etc.)
  * continued improved accessibility
  * color picker?

 Under the hood:
  * meta query for WP_User_Query and WP_Comment_Query (I think those are
 both 3.5?)
  * multisite changes — specifically performance (switch_to_blog()) and
 caching sanity. subdirectory and ms-files are both for new networks, but
 could get a mention in some form depending on how we write it.
  * WP_Post is a good thing to mention, but primarily for performance
 reasons, so maybe not in name.
  * XML-RPC API additions (revisions, user management)
  * new and updated libraries (backbone, underscore, jq/jqui, tinymce)
  * maybe PHP 5.4 sanity?

 johnbillion and lessbloat will be leading the charge here. Ideally, this
 is all done (in first draft form) by next week.
