It has been announced that Wordpress 2.3 will be released on September 24th
.  With the current availability of Beta 2 (at the time of writing this post) you should be aware that the code is still “rough” and you should be confident and comfortable with web technologies if you are willing to try it out.

That said, this is still rough code, so you should only test the beta if you are comfortable troubleshooting PHP issues, filing tickets, and backing up your blog’s data.


With regards to the free wordpress themes available - you can be rest assured that these styles will be updated for the latest version of Wordpress once adequate upgrade documentation has been provided by the Wordpress team.

Heres to September 24th! :)
