Wordpress 2.8.1 has been released! We were planning to upgrade to 2.7, but we will now be skipping directly to 2.8. This upgrade will happen by the end of July, so be prepared to see some nice changes here.
Along with the usual security updates and bug fixes, this version comes with a completely redesigned Dashboard interface. This means that when you log in to make updates to your blog, the blog administration page you see will look very different.
Here is a view of what the new interface looks like:
