The next generation of WordPress has been released, WordPress 2.7. In case you’re wondering it is named Coltrane after John Willam Coltrane, who is a favorite jazz Saxophonist of Matt Mullenweg. It has been confirmed that it is very stable by being well tested this past week on WordPress.com.
The first thing I noticed was how much the interface has changed and that it customizable by the drag and drop feature. I love being able to customize the more important and my most used items, because it’s different for each user. This feature can be found on each screen, including the post page. In the top rigt corner there is even a screen option pull down where you can select what shows up and what doesn’t. Everything is straight in plain sight now instead of being clicks away, perfect! I can’t wait to use the reply to comments from your dashboard feature! So many new features and neat things, check out the video below for a visual introduction of Coltrane

I LOVE wordpress 2.7! Like you said in your post, it is easily customizeable and you can put your most important things where you want them. I’m a big fan of the dashboard makeover.
