WordPress 2.8 has released the first beta
Well for those looking for the newest version of WordPress they released the first beta version of 2.8 yesterday. I have added it to this blog today and it seems to be working fine so far.
Have been running the latest nightly builds on the beta blog so was not really surprised and did not expect any problems but Murphy does live at my house. Previously I covered some of the changes such as being able to add new themes the way that you can add plugins now.
So just a heads up that if the beta goes well and so far at least for me it has then you can expect the live release shortly.

Great news as I believe 2.8 makes blog maintenance even easier as mentioned in your preview.
Looking forward to the release.

Looking forward to it, maybe I will move some of my 2.67 up to 2.8 or do I need to do the interim upgrade first?

Great Update Mike.
Thanks for the review
and update on WP’s new version.
The ability to add a new theme the
way you add a plugin is one of the
features I’m definitely interested in

Glad you have the time to keep us updated on all these Mike – have never seen a company release such a ridiculous number of updates over sch a short period of time…
Will probably wait for 3.0 – or maybe go 6 weeks and hold out for 4.0.
