The new version of Wordpress is all set to be released next month “10th of November”.  Version 2.7 offers Quick Post feature that will allow you to write a post from your dashboard instead of going to “Write post” page which seems pretty much useless. The only feature I was anticipating of was the “Blog Stats” and seems like we’re going to enjoy this feature in the upcoming version. Wordpress is already offering this feature at Wordpress.com and it seems really useful.

Major new features include

• New admin UI based
• New expandable edit post page that allows dragging and dropping of meta boxes
• Hide columns on the content index pages
• Keyboard hot keys for managing comments
• Sticky Posts
• Automatic upgrade of WordPress
• Remove old/unused code
• One-click plugin installation
• Reply to comments from admin
• Frame-like method for moderating ping/trackbacks
