If you are feeling brave, WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate 1 is now available for download by the general public. As many of you are aware 2.7 features a redesign of the backend user interface.
I have been following the progress of this project on an almost nightly basis and it’s pretty nice. I am not going to roll it out to my clients until it goes stable but I think it’s safe to try on any sandbox installations you might have running. Here’s a note from the WordPress blogs:
With the release of RC1, we’re in the final leg of development before the release of 2.7. 280 commits since beta 3 have polished the new admin UI (including new menu icons created by the winners of our icon design contest) and fixed all known blocker bugs.
We think RC1 is ready for everyone to try out. Please download RC1 and help us make the final release the best it can be. As always, back up your blog before upgrading. Get RC1.
