However way you look at it, Wordpress is by far one of the most popular blogging software online. It has evolved so rapidly over the years that it seems even wordpress developers can’t keep up with it anymore. After the somewhat successful yet bug filled wordpress 2.6, wordpress 2.61 came out to fix that, supporting minor bugs here and there itself. Now what strikes us as odd is that wordpress 2.7 was announced to be on the way, ‘before’ wordpress 2.61 was even released, this leads us to speculate that wordpress developers are in a hurry to release version 2.7, which as some have said, is a bad call.

Rushing production on an open source project update is never the best way to go, beating the expected release date is also not or at least we hope is not a goal for the wordpress team. This only means that things will get overlooked and that has us wondering, when is wordpress 2.71 coming out? We understand that wordpress is ever changing, updating and evolving, but what we don’t get, and frankly don’t appreciate, is their developers knocking a month off the scheduled release just to provide us with something that’s bound to break up our themes, break our plugins, and pretty much give us a hard time.

A word of advice,don’t rush to update your blog, wait until enough people have tested wordpress 2.7 before using it, who knows, by the time you’re satisfied wordpress might release a 2.71 version that has some security patches of some sort. it has happened many times before, and even then when you end up upgrading to wordpress 2.71, wordpress would have released wordpress 2.8!
