Earlier today, Javamancy has completed the upgrade to WordPress 2.7…

A Little Bit More to Tokbox: Free Video Calls, Anyone?: A fellow reader had posted a comment earlier today about where to find sample Java code on Tokbox’s site for their product. It appears that their original URL that was offered on their site no longer links to the sample code that they touted months back. [...]

While discussing upgrade concerns to WordPress 2.7, Lorelle mentioned a link to another blog that suggests a series of WordPress plugins that work with the 2.6.x series that bring a certain level of comparable functionality that is seen in the recently-released WordPress 2.7. I thought it was certainly an interesting read, so I recommend it to [...]

WordPress 2.7 was released a few hours ago. Unlike the past few releases, this is the Big One. Or, at least, the big one since 2.5 and 2.6.

“Hey, where can I download those open sourced Revolution themes? I can’t find them!” A couple of months ago, I’d posted about the change of heart (and licensing) of the Revolution WordPress themes. Since then, there were certainly plenty of goings-on over at the Revolution theme site, including a “branching” of the regularly supported premium [...]

It seems that the standard WordPress 2.7 release will occur sometime around December 10, 2008, according to a comment that Lorelle tracked along a post over at the Blog Herald with a comment from Jane Wells about the eventual FCS date.
