Wordpress development team announced the release of Wordpress 2.7 RC1, which means that they are in the final development before the release of 2.7.
Before the release of RC1, we have gone through three beta version and saw a lot of new features of Wordpress 2.7. The release of this RC1 will includes a lot of bug fixes and new menu icons.
As shown in the screenshot, Wordpress 2.7 has a new Dashboard design. I believe current Wordpress users may need some time to get familiar with the new interface and also new features in Wordpress 2.7.
In my coming posts, i will try to go through some of the new features in Wordpress 2.7. So, make sure you follow or subscribe me!

While we are still waiting the release of Wordpress 2.7, we may need to upgrade our Wordpress to version 2.6.5 immediately, as there are some security issues in version 2.6.3.
According to Wordpress blog,
The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.
You may choose to download the complete Wordpress 2.6.5 package or download the individual files and the replace with your current 2.6.3 installation:

According to the Wordopress team, hacker can use this vulnerability to execute shell command and hack your Wordpress server. Anyway, this is just a small fix. Instead of downloading the full package, you may download these two files and upload to your server:
