Thanks for the news. I just used the auto update for the first time. So far I really like 2.7 For the first time I feel like I really can manage my sites from the dashboard.
I also really appreciate how easily I can customize the dashboard by changing one image and the colors of the header and footer.

I kinda want to update to it, but maybe some input on someone who already has it downloaded would help me decide. Any leftover really bad bugs?

I’d rather wait for the actual version to get release, don’t want to waste my time on Beta version.
