WordPress 2.7 has been released with a complete overhaul of the admin interface and the addition of new features.  From the reader’s perspective, however, things probably won’t look a whole lot different.  One new feature I’ve wished for a few times in the past is to make a post “sticky” so that it’s always on the main page.

If you’re using Subversion to manage your updates, all you should need to do is run the following command:

svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.7/

And then hit the upgrade URL.  Painless as usual!

Congratulations to the WordPress 2.7 team!
