First Beta version of Wordpress 2.7
Wordpress has released a beta version for their next release 2.7. As they have announced before, this version of wordpress comes with a newly designed admin panel. As said in the announcement post, new designed is not completely finished. There are some glitches but they will be fixed before the RC version of Wordpress 2.7, which will be released on November 10.
I must say they have done a great job with this new design. It looks great. Although, I’ll be missing the old style. It gives you full control on your admin index page. You can customize it as you wish. Unfortunately, they are behind their schedule and won’t be able to release 2.7 on November 10. It’s been postponed to the end of November.
One of the new features that I really like is that automatic upgrades. You can now upgrade your Wordpress without downloading the version from the site and upload it to your website. I know this was announced before but it’s good to see it in action.
