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.

Yuga, does all of your plugins were ok when you changed to 2.7?

My upgrade to 2.7 went smoothly, except for a plugin that wasn’t up to snuff yet: I used to use Mollom for spam control, but had to switch back to Akismet because of that.

It does look prettier, more intuitive and cleaner. I like that everything is collapsible and that you can reply to comments directly from the admin interface.
