Just in case you missed it the default theme in WordPress 3.0 has been updated to version 1.1. If your running WordPress 3.0 you should find an update indicator in your admin panel under Dashboard > Updates.
So when I saw this update a couple of days ago I went off in search of what was updated. Unfortunately there is not a changelog in the WordPress.org Themes Directory and a quick search did not yield very much at that time.
However, today when I made that same search I finally got some results and although it is not a changelog with a detailed listing of what has been updated it is from one of the WordPress Devs, Andrew Nacin and appears in the WordPress Support Themes and Templates forum:
Hey all –
The only real change is that I removed the half-baked code using the wp_title hook in order to customize the page title, […]

Actually this should not be a big surprise for those of us who frequent sites like this to see that the latest version of WordPress is moving out the door at this kind of pace.
If you want to watch the parade of downloads then you should check out this site:
http://wordpress.org/download/counter/
Personally I do not remember a similar download counter on past versions but that does not mean it did not exist. Maybe someone from WordPress can comment on how this versions download pace compares to past updates. I think that would be interesting to know and compare.
I grabbed this screenshot at 8:20 AM EDT just to give you a frame of reference
I did some very rough calculations and watched the counter for 60 seconds to get an idea of just how fast those downloads are happening:
50 downloads per minute
3,000 downloads per hour
72,000 downloads per day
504,000 downloads […]

WordPress 3.0 came out couple of days ago and there might have been people who have upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. Though I am really not impressed with WordPress 3.0 yet and am exploring it throughout (a full review is coming soon ) to be able to explain what it has and what it does not.
I found that the latest and greatest update to the best blogging platform does not pack in much features which the end user will find useful. That said I thoroughly understand that I am speaking for myself here and want your inputs about what you liked about this update.
Of course, the merging of MU into WordPress core was a really huge thing, but other than that what did you like or find useful in WordPress 3.0. I am looking forward to your inputs, and I promise that a full review […]

WordPress 3.0 Walkthrough: Multsite
Multisite is the most talked about new feature in WordPress 3.0 – the WordPress team has folded the functionality of WordPress Multiuser into the main WordPress project. So how do you use it?
This tutorial assumes your are comfortable using FTP clients such as Filezilla and doing basic edits of WordPress files.
1. Download WordPress 3.0 release candidate. You can find it here.
2. Edit wp-config in your favorite text editor and add the following line:
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
(I’d suggest adding it just above the line “// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //”)
3. Install WordPress normally
NOTE: If you’ve already installed WordPress 3.0, just edit wp-config and add that line of code, there’s no need to re-install.
4. Under Tools on the sidebar, you’ll now have an “Network” option. Click it.
5. Here you’ll setup your “Network” – a Network is all the blogs or sites […]
