Hear that 2.7 a Comin'

As announced on the wordpress.com blog, 2.7 is coming to wordpress.com tomorrow.  Actually, 2.7 has been running on wordpress.com for awhile, just not the exciting new admin UI.  Here’s a peek at what the admin will look like on wordpress.com.

WordPress.com 2.7 Preview

The final release of 2.7 won’t be here until next week. There is still a lot of coordination and management type stuff to do before we’re ready to release.

  2. [...] Ryan remarks on his blog that, while WordPress 2.7 has actually been somewhat operating at WordPress.com already, the admin console will not be available until tomorrow (which is what Jane had said yesterday). Even worse, Ryan says that the FCS release for everybody won’t be available until “sometime next week”: [...]

    Can’t wait!!! Thank you guys for all your talents & hard work the screen shot looks great. :D

  4. Alex says:

    Looking very nice. I hope they release this for download soon. I’m itching to download the new release for all my blogs.

  5. geekTips says:

    Can’t wait to see the stable release on WordPress.org

  6. Mohan says:

    Ah… i thought it would be out in less than 24 hrs from now after reading lorelle’s post. Anyways.. I am sure the wait is worth and look forward for the release of 2.7.

  7. Erica says:

    Woo! I can’t wait. :)

  8. Ryan,

    So yet another week to wait? You know, I was going to bake you, Jane Wells and Matt Mullenweg chocolate chip cookies as a thank you. Now I won’t. They were good cookies, I just ate them.

  9. Rick says:

    I am looking forward to the release. I would like to have the capability to update the same way you can update plugins.

  10. Awesome work, as always! I’ve been using WordPress 2.7 Beta 1 til RC1 on my blog and loving it so far :D

    Wish we can get that graph on our own self-hosted WordPress Blog though. That’d be cool!

  11. JamesP says:

    Just when I finally got used to the old layout… oh well, that does look pretty awesome.

  12. rayvolvez says:

    @ Michael Aulia,

    Actually that graph is available now, if you updated your wp-blogstats plugin. It appeared after the recent plugin update.

    @ Ryan and wordpress team!
    Thanks for making blogging an enjoyment for all of us. Been testing since pre beta – beta 2 – 3 and now rc1.

    I see you guys coming a long way and keep up the hard and amazing work!

  13. Jhay says:

    That’s awesome! Been using WordPress for almost 6mos from 2.6.3 – 2.7 RC1! Can’t wait!

  14. Chip says:

    I’ve been using the Betas and the RC1 and I’m very pleased. It’ll take a while, again, to get used to the new features and appearance, but overall I’m pleased.

    The core update helps me a lot as I manage many blogs, for me and some of my clients, and it saves me precious time.

  15. Shaibanii says:

    Not a WP.com user, but it looks awesome! :-)

    @Chip -
    Same with me, it should’ve been added long ago!

  16. Thomas says:

    I truly can’t wait for the official release. Thanks to everyone who worked hard on this one! It is really appreciated!

  18. Great work! I did not see 2.7 (yet) but it looks and sounds very good so far. Still I will wait till 2.7.1 ;)

  19. Richard says:

    I am using the beta version of 2.7. It’s cool. I like it very much.

  20. [...] la nueva version tambien mañana? Pocas horas faltan para descubrirlo … Actualizado: nada, hasta la semana que viene no nos toca. ¿Te gusto este post? ¡Pues [...]

  21. John says:

    Hi, I have been using the RC1 upgrade as well, and I really prefer it to the old system. Cant wait for the final release.

    I was just wondering, I have been looking for the blogstats plugin you mentioned above, can you tell me where I can find it please?

    Thank you.

  22. Jaypee says:

    So self-hosted WordPress blogs will get 2.7 by next week? Looking forward to it.

    Thanks Ryan and to all the people behind the WordPress dev team! Keep up the good work. :)

  23. nomad-one says:

    Oh dang, just installed RC1 on my live site after testing locally, now my dashboard has no menu? Yelppp!!

  24. Problogineer says:

    So what is the final release date ?
    why it is taking so much of time ?

  25. richardginn says:

    ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh PRETTTYYYYYYYY……………

  26. [...] Ryan Boren explained that WordPress.com users have already been using much of the core programming of WordPress 2.7, just not the new Administration Panel interface, which is due to arrive today. WordPress.com has long been a testing ground for the latest features of WordPress before releasing it to the public. [...]

  27. coder says:

    I can certainly wait.

    I’m happy to wait for bug fixes (take your time guys, why the rush?) and a good looking UI. With so many iterations on admin UI redesign, how come that the WP folks still manage to make it look cheap & cluttered.
    Round corners? That’s so 2002 – I can only hope for decent UI’s provided on a plugin basis.

    Good luck WP.

    I thought it’s only for those whose blogs are hosted at wordpress.com

    WoW! This is slick! I upgraded from 2.6.5 to 2.7 RC1 and it’s very nice indeed. I was a bit nervous but not a single hiccup or glitch anywhere. I’m using WP Theme Generator for my theme and it is 100% compatible. I hope the WP Theme Generator gets added to the list of compatible themes. You guys did an excellent job on this project and this beta. It is ready for prime time right now. Thanks for all the hard work.

    Very swish looking.

    I hope the bugs all get worked out before general release.

    Looking great so far :)

  34. Jon says:

    Can’t wait, the new WordPress 2.7 improvements look awesome! I’ve been playing with the Beta and RC1, and I’m excited to start using the final release when it’s ready.

  36. [...] WordPress 2.7 Now On WP.com – On Thursday, users of WordPress.com were greeted with WordPress 2.7. 2.7 was released on WordPress.com because of the wide variety of browsers and configurations that are used on a daily basis. This makes for an excellent testing ground to nail down any last styling issues before the .org version is released.WordPress 2.7 is scheduled for release on December 10th.- http://boren.nu/archives/2008/12/03/hear-that-27-a-comin/ [...]

  38. MHartz says:

    Yep. RC1 runs without a hitch! I love the new design and wait patiently to upgrade my other blogs.

  39. China Blog says:

    The new admin panel looks great on these screenshots. Much better than 2.6x. Will try it out soon on my live site. (After a few days without any Problems coming up amongst early adopters).

  41. Shirley says:

    We’re tired of waiting over here, so we’ll be upgrading at least one of our blogs to the RC1…. I’m very excited.

  42. FH2o says:

    I am looking forward to it and grateful for the work that has been put into it.

    Amazing effort. Thanks!

  43. jcwinnie says:

    Pretty picture at top of your post. Unfortunately, it donna look like dat on any Ubuntu Linux that I use.

    Only when using various browsers on an XP box is the alignment correct.

    I primarily use the Linux boxes and it is a real hassle to edit a post or comment because the dashboard is misaligned. (Tag editing or the left column appears first, and I must scroll down to find the textbox.)

    There are other nusiances (e.g., little tiny # sign to go where a comment exists) with the new design, but this one makes WP a PIB to use.

  44. slavezero says:

    I really can’t wait for the release :D

    I’ve seen and tried it on wordpress.com it works great and look fantastic.

  46. jcwinnie says:

    Dashboard no longer appears disjointed. Unfortunately, Edit Post is borked worse. Besides being disjointed, I am getting the following error:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/jcwinnie/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/advtagentry.php:314) in /home/jcwinnie/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 699

  47. jcwinnie says:

    What? You’re suppose to read and decode the error messages, huh?

    When the Edit Comment seemed to work O.K., I went back and looked at the error message more closely. Then, tested Edit Comment after deactivating Advanced Tag Entry and it seemed to work fine.

    My bad, Ryan.
