Finally, it’s here. Grab a copy from http://wordpress.org/development/2008/12/wordpress-27-release-candidate-1/ but remember to back up your blog first.

I’ve been having issues with widgets in 2.7 and 2.6.5 recently so GEEK! is still running the good old 2.6.2. I might pluck up the courage later to see if the issues from the betas have been fixed in RC1.

See what you think!

Oh and by the way according to WordPress.com the final release of 2.7 is due next week.
