Yesterday, June 10th, WordPress 2.8 was released. It includes a theme browser, redesigned widgets interface, improved speed and fixes for a reported 790 bugs. It can be downloaded here.
Personally I think I’ll wait a while for this update. The last one caused some Meandering Passage theme problems and I’m currently not in the mood to go through that again–perhaps in a couple of weeks. 
Update 6/12/09: The WP Theme I use has been certified for WP 2.8 so I went ahead and performed the update without incident. Thus far, everything seems to be working.

Man. I’m so far behind that curve! I’m still somewhere back in 2.5.1, I think.
I updated today, and it works as a charm. I sure hope so, anyway.
@Paul: Well there are some nice improvements from version 2.7 on. You might want to think about it one of these days.
@Ove: That’s good news. Perhaps I’ll be brave enough in a week or so. Thanks for the info!
