WordPress 2.7.1 Beta 1

2.7.1, the first 2.7 maintenance release, is almost ready.  So far, 66 tickets are fixed in 2.7.1.  There are another 50 tickets open against the 2.7.1 milestone, but most of those will be moved to 2.7.2 or 2.8.  If there are tickets in that list you would really like to see fixed in 2.7.1, drop a comment.

To automatically upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.1 Beta 1, change the version in your wp-includes/version.php file from 2.7 to 2.7.1-beta and then visit Tools->Upgrade.  Otherwise, download the beta package and install manually.

    Great to hear. I always feel reassured by x.x.1 releases.

    I would love to see http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8750 resolved, it’s something that’s been irking me for a while.

  2. Petter says:

    Regarding all of the closed tickets: Great work!

    Most (all?) of the high priority tickets would be appreciated. Also, personally, I would really like 8543 fixed (but the ticket its possibly a duplicate of is sceduled for 2.8).

    I’ll be pleased enough if all marked with ‘high’ priority are fixed in the final release :)

    My wish. I’d like http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8863 to be resolved! This bug breaks my comment related stats.

    i hope the drop down menu issue is already embedded. it’s hard to look for a good drop down menu plugin.

  11. #7520, especially, bugs the hell out of me. I’d be THRILLED if I could set default options for images explicitly, I use the same settings 95% of the time and they aren’t the defaults WP uses.

  12. Tshering says:

    wow! used a lot of open source before but nothing like wp. i am using it as a cms and i am fully satisfied. will wait for the stable release. great!

  14. It’s about time, many people have been asking when 2.7.1 will come out.

    I will first see what has changed from the previous version.

    Thanks for sharing

    Welcome WP 2.7.1 Beta !

  16. Raju says:

    again the same question, why should there be beta releases so frequently? Is it that necessary?

  17. Alex says:

    Finally! I’ve been waiting for this forever ;-)

    I`ve been using the beta for a new days.
    There`s only 1 rather important bug. which i`ve reported on the wordpress forum.

  22. seo says:

    Hello
    This forced me to update? When we get a version 2.8 update should be fine right?

  24. Hikari says:

    GJ!

    Updates are very fast thou. I just updated from 2.6.0… I think I will stick with 2.7.2 until 2.9 or 2.10 releases, a few plugins always get bugged after update

  25. Banago says:

    The 2.7.1 is coming very slowly, I have been expecting it earlier. However, I am very pleased with 2.7, it works great and I love the automatic upgrade.

  26. Jawker says:

    I’m starting to love WordPress more and more!

  27. Web Talk says:

    I dont know…isn’t too risky install a beta version on top of a stable version? I would not risk!

    I dont have privileges to submit new tickets so hopefully this will get out some how. When clicking the Dashboard link in the admin console it returns a blank page: {url}/wp-admin/admin.php?page=index.php. When clearing the extended link and leave as {url}/wp-admin it loads page correctly. This has been noted from original production 2.7 release in a Local test environment and production hosted environment. Problem still persists and I dont see a currently logged ticket for this issue.

    Please fix the white screen of death!

  31. ninja says:

    Great to hear. I always feel reassured by x.x.1 releases.

    Is that because you always assume x.x releases to be broken by default? ;)

  32. Leefe says:

    I agree with this. Having the time displayed as different time zones for different things gets annoying (and confusing).

  33. Chris says:

    Yes, please fix the timezone tickets Ryan!

    Thanks again for all you do.

  34. Ramoonus says:

    could you please give more info?

    (turn debugging on, show us the errors)
