It seems that the standard WordPress 2.7 release will occur sometime around December 10, 2008, according to a comment that Lorelle tracked along a post over at the Blog Herald with a comment from Jane Wells about the eventual FCS date.

Well, sort of…
Ryan remarks on his blog that, while WordPress 2.7 has actually been somewhat operating at WordPress.com already, the admin console will not be available until tomorrow (which is what Jane had said yesterday). Even worse, Ryan says that the FCS release for everybody won’t be available until “sometime next week”:

Jane posted earlier today that WordPress 2.7 will be “coming to WordPress.com” in two days. Here’s an excerpt of the beginning portion of her post that will clear up some of the confusion:

True, it’s not the FCS release of the product.
But WordPress 2.7 RC1 may now be downloaded, for intrepid WordPressers to try… to help test it before its official release as a finalized product.

WordPress 2.6.5 was released yesterday to address one critical security exploit and three additional bugs.
The major security issue: there appears to be an interesting quirk that manifests as a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) exploit that impacts Apache 2.x IP-based virtual hosts.
As reported by the WordPress folks themselves, they’ve released version 2.6.5 once they learned of [...]

Jane says that WordPress 2.7 development is rolling along fine, but the original November 10, 2008 release date has been pushed back toward the “end of November” (2008).
In light of the upcoming (and there’s no reason at this time to believe otherwise) WordPress 2.7 release, Javamancy will not be undergoing any vast middleware or back-end [...]

Peter Westwood has described in his blog an attempt by an unscrupulous punk to distribute a trojaned version of WordPress.
Warning to WordPress Developers, Users, and Aficionados
