Wordpress 2.7 has officially been in the wild for about 5 days now, and I have to say I LOVE IT. 

If you are wondering, “hey, should I upgrade”, here are some of the features now available:

  • Whole new, AJAX based user interface – very sweet
  • Quickpress
  • Comment Threading (and replying to comments right from your dashboard)
  • Sticky Posts 
  • Built-in Upgrade Feature
Frankly, it’s about time the Wordpress development team included a built-in upgrade feature.  Say to say, however, this new addition will eliminate the need for the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin I had previously written about.

Yes, there are a few back end items the upgrade takes care of, mainly security, but this is a whole new blogging platform.  When you have time, you really should install this release.  You will not regret doing so.
