WordPress 2.7 Beta 1 Release

November 1, 2008

This morning WordPress announced the release of WordPress 2.7 Beta 1. The original release date for 2.7 was scheduled for November 10th but is expected to be delayed for two weeks putting a probable release date of November 24 on the calendar. What this means is that you can download WordPress 2.7 but it’s not quite ready for primetime and isn’t recommended for general sites. Rather, a release candidate (ready for use but tentatively a little buggy) will be released on November 10th.

For most of our clients, the BlackBox team will recommend upgrading to 2.7 when the final release is made available on or around the 24th.

There is a great deal of anticipation around WordPress 2.7 because of the newly designed administrative interface into which Automattic put a great deal of time and research. We also expect some other ehancements to the system that uses should find benificial.
