WordPress 1.0 was released January 3, 2004. Named for Miles Davis.

Changelog

With the 1.0 release WordPress added features to match the best tool in the market at that time, which was Movable Type. A fairly ambitious release schedule during the holidays meant that 1.0 had a few significant bugs that weren’t caught in testing.
