WordPress 2.6.1 released
The release candidate for WordPress 2.6.1 is now available. Although not a critical update (quote from official blog ‘If you’re happy with 2.6, however, keep on using it. You need not upgrade to 2.6.1 if 2.6 is getting the job done.‘), it certainly addresses a few bugs that crept in - as you can see on WordPress Trac.
Importantly - it fixes the permalink issue that has been mentioned on this site for those WordPress users based on Windows servers.
There are some international improvements, along with some IE fixes to the upgraded ‘Press It’ browser integration for quick content blogging.
