WordPress 2.7 is nearly here

From Lorelle’s blog:

In an announcement on the WordPress.com blog, WordPress 2.7 will arrive on Thursday, December 4, 2008, at 8PM Eastern Time in the United States…

…Originally, WordPress.com bloggers were told by Matt Mullenweg and Jane Wells of Automattic that WordPress.com bloggers would see WordPress 2.7 about two weeks after the full version launch. Unless WordPress.com will be testing the new version before the full version launch, be ready to install WordPress 2.7 by the weekend.
