I came home from my holidays on the 15th to find that the new Wordpress had been released, almost a month ahead of it’s schedule. It’s not that different to 2.5 or 2.5.1 that I was running, but there are some cool new features, like post revision tracking, better SSL support, and fixes for the press-this plugin.
I’m slightly skeptical about the post revisions, though, because I think it could well lead to a bloaded database that takes up far more space than it needs too. It’s a great idea, and it’s very usable, but I wonder if having an option to turn it on or off would be a good idea.
I’ve also been playing with Crazyhorse (or rather, I was before I left for holidays) , which is a branch of Wordpress with even more drastic edits to the backend, with a totally new layout. I actaully really like it 
It’s available in a branch of the trunk somewhere, I can’t remember the exact URL.
