Release Candidate 1 of WordPress 2.7 is available for the beta testers amongst us. Featuring a highly polished and reworked admin CP and a lot of changes, its one of the biggest WordPress releases to date.

With the release of RC1, we’re in the final leg of development before the release of 2.7.  280 commits since beta 3 have polished the new admin UI (including new menu icons created by the winners of our icon design contest) and fixed all known blocker bugs.

We think RC1 is ready for everyone to try out.  Please download RC1 and help us make the final release the best it can be.  As always, back up your blog before upgrading.
