WordPress, an open source blog publishing application(that we are also using :)), has got a new version today: Release 2.7 Candidate  1.

It is not the final release and needs to be tested more.

New layout is cool, looks like inspired by Mac OSX User interface. All options are arranged now in a vertical menu instead of the old horizontal way. The UI is simpler now. At Dashboard “Quick Press” allows you to quickly publish a post and “Right Now” box shows a clean and clear overview of the content. One thing that should be included is “The automatic update option”, right now this can be done by Word Press Automatic Update Plugin but it will be more convenient of this option is provided in WordPress application.
