I’m surprised that I haven’t seen mention of this from other channels yet (official or unofficial), but two days ago, SVN revision 8561 of the WordPress 2.6 branch was labled as WordPress version 2.6.1-beta1. The log messages reveal that most changes since the 2.6 release are minor bug and typo fixes. A few of the more interesting bits that jump out at me are:
- Allow disabling password reset per-user.
- Query functions now allow a comma-separated list of post_status values.
- Several more link generation bits are made SSL-aware.
- Advertise the Atom 1.0 feed in the default theme.
- Atom API uses the newer WP authentication functions.
- Fix for an object caching bug in plugin updates.

Sounds like they came up with a few things to whet the appetite until 2.7 is released. Thanks for letting us it know the beta is out.
Hmmm, nice catch! Good thing I subscribe to a reputable source.
Thanks but I do not like to try as am not sure about its stability. Just wait for 2.7
I think like “Tinh” – better wait for 2.7
I still wait for stability version…
Yeah there was not much mention about it. But i think it wont last and it did not last when i used it. 2.7 is the key.
I can’t wait for the new version of wordpress
