A new version of WordPress is now out at 2.7. Some major re-design of the administration layout was done as well as a few tweak, bug fixes and improvements.
If you are running the WP Auto-Upgrade, it should show on your admin panel. The new panel UI looks better and has the ability to move panels/sections around.
Again, please be reminded that several plugins/extensions might be affected by upgrading to this version so better check the compatibility list first before making the move.
More information about the recent update here.


I tried it on a new site and I love the plugin install feature and of course the new UI.
