I know this post is a little late and most of you have probably already noticed this in your WordPress dashboard already, but WordPress 2.7.1 is now available to download. This update includes at least 68 bug fixes, so it is definitely worth making the upgrade.
As this is the first update in the WordPress 2.7.1 branch, I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that you can now easily upgrade from within your dashboard by going to Tools –> Upgrade. Those of you waiting to upgrade to the WordPress 2.7.x branch until the first update was available will still need to upgrade manually.

Words cannot describe the joy I felt when I saw the automatic upgrade option. I upgraded 17 blogs in a fraction of the time it took me to do it manually. And now that I have all of my blogs using the WP backup plugin, it will likely be a lot quicker the next time around.
yeah but it looks and works like 2.7.0 nothing changed. And i like auto update feature.
