Wordpress 2.7 passed the 100 000 download mark in just 20 hours.

WordPress version 2.7 is now available, with a brand new backend with many enhancements including editing and replying to comments, QuickPress – a way to post direct from the dashboard, the return of Press This – a bookmarklet that will let you post about any website without having to go to your blog, and much more.

A video about the new version can be seen here, and even more about the new release can be read on the WordPress Dev Blog.

It is in beta at the moment so lets hope it can get better, more info at the Googleblog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html
