If you hadn’t noticed, WordPress 2.7 came out recently - and ahead of schedule from what I’ve heard. Personally, I love the slick, sexy 2.7, after being hugely disappointed with 2.5. It takes a bit of getting used to, what with the serious interface overhaul.  Now WP 2.8 is on the books for development, and if you want to have a say in what features go in, please go see Automattic’s WP 2.8 features survey on Polldaddy.
