WordPress 2.6 Beta 1 is available

There is a lot of talk going around about the new Beta 1 version of WordPress 2.6.
You can see articles here:

And you can download the beta here: http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.6-beta1.zip

I would NOT suggest that you download this and upgrade your LIVE blog/website with this version.  This is simply due to the fact that it is in Beta, which means that the developers do not believe it is ready for active release yet.

As of WordPress 2.5, your WordPress Admin will tell you when a new release is available and that you should update.  As a rule of thumb, I would go by this and not install anything in Beta.

However, if you want to install it somewhere and play around with it, and find bugs, HAVE FUN!  Just remember to use a different database than the one your site currently employs.
