The WordPress developement team has released WordPress 2.7 beta 2 – final version is expected some times in this month. The beta 2 is relatively stable, and features a whole slew of improvements. Some of the most visible changes for your readers will be support for threaded comments and sticky posts. If you’re comfortable running beta version, you can download. If you have already installed beta 1, you can update to beta 2 via the Tools -> Update menu.  Beta 1 does have a bug in the automatic upgrade that breaks certain setups, so be prepared to download and install Beta 2 manually if you experience problems.
