WordPress 2.6.5 has been released, addressing a few small bugs, and a few fringe security issues it seems. At first glance, I thought this was an odd thing, considering 2.7 is around the corner, but after a little thought, it makes sense. One, a security issue was found and fixed, and two, some people (this author for one) dislikes immediately upgrading to the latest and greatest release, so having a secure (as possible) 2.6.x release with a few nagging bugs taken out allows for sites to wait, test out, and take their time to upgrade to the 2.7 release.

A slew of fixes since b1 are in this release, perhaps too many, suggesting to me that it went beta too quickly, though I’ve never quite grasped beta/alpha/release candidate structures. Every project seems to have their own ideas.

I’ve not tested 2.7 myself, but the comments on twitter and via a few feeds have been positive, what are your impressions?
