Are you ready for WordPress 2.7?
Looks like the release of WordPress 2.7 will be the 10th. You might want to look at compatibility ahead of time.
With the security release of WordPress 2.6.5 there won’t be a security reason to rush to the new version but the new features are quite nice. There will be a bit of learning curve until you get used to the new look but it will be the last time you will have to upgrade from outside.
Like the plugin updates in the current version you will be able to upgrade within the dashboard. And yes before someone tells me I know there has been a plugin to do that already.
You should check out your theme for compatibility along with your plugins. You may also want to check your host for compatibility.
Here are some links where you can check each of these out.
As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Hi Mike,
I always like to use latest version (not beta versions) and it seems that 2.7 is now ready to go. Thanks for the links to check compatibility issues. Great help.

Thanks for the comaptibility links. Is there an easy way to upgrade. The last upgrade I did was with a plug in but I had problems and had to delete the latest post to fix it. Is there a plug in that you would recommend

@Luca -
You are not the first person to have trouble with the plugin. One of the reasons I have never recommended one.
Yes when the time comes there will be articles here about upgrading. After that it will be built into the WordPress script.
