I have been eyeing the release of Wordpress 2.7 for sometime now.  Though the list of new features looked impressive, I wasn’t about to mess around with the beta installs.  Though final 2.7 build is gettin released on December 10th, I had some time today so I figured I would instll RC1.  People seem to indicate its stable, and I have yet to see any issues.

This way when 2.7 final comes out in a few days, I can use the new auto-updater and give that a whirl.  I am also looking forward to the next major release of the Picture Gallery plugin I use, NextGEN Gallery.  The NextGEN verison 1.0 release is being timed with the final release of Wordpress 2.7.  It seems I’ll have a lot to do Wednesday night.
