On 10th December, WordPress released new version of its blogging software, codenamed John Coltrane, an American Jazz musician. This new release features many back-end enhancement. You know, the stuff that you will never see unless you own WordPress. All of my plugins work with this new version. /woot.

Let us see what’s new in version 2.7 (I don’t re-write stuff that has been written, I love this Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V)

• XMLRPC Comments API
• Keyboard shortcuts for comment moderation
• Sticky Posts
• Theme update api, like we do for plugins
• Dashboard and write box rearranging (write box in trunk)
• One-click plugin installs
• Reply to comments from admin
• Core updating
• Frame-like method for moderating ping/trackbacks
• Plugin browser embedded
• PHPXref hosted on WordPress.org
• Separate Large and Full image sizes, related improvements
• Comment threading
• Comment paging
• Batch and inline editing
• HTTPOnly cookies
• Column hiding for all management pages
• Post box hiding for all edit pages
• Upgrades and install over SFTP
• Template Tag wp_page_menu wrapper for wp_list_pages and support for Home page

Off all new features introduced in Version 2.7, the best for me would be the New Commenting System. Fast, easy and completely with no hassle. Get it now.
