The Weblogs Tools Collection blog posted a nice overview of the new features in WordPress 2.7 yesterday so I wanted to get my hands dirty and get ready for the release scheduled for sometime next month. So I installed a test version here and loaded up my normal batch of plugins and a few themes. The plugins did pretty well with only a couple not working. Not so good with the themes but I’ll still be working with them over the next few weeks before 2.7 is released as the next stable version.
But the biggest change with 2.7 is the administrative user interface which gets a complete overhaul. I’ll be doing a screencast in the next week or two highlighting the differences from 2.6.x but you can get a sneak peak by logging in with the username and password of “demo” (no quotes). It’s a limited account but you can see some of what is in store for the future. As usual, it looks very interesting and another step forward for the WordPress platform.
