June 10th 2009 we all will get to update or WordPress installs to 2.8. But if you can’t wait to try out the new version of WordPress 2.8 you can download and try Release Candidate 1. This will probably be the only release candidate Version 2.8 is pretty much complete and on track for the June 10th release.

What I look forward to the most is that Justin Tadlock from ThemeHybrid will be releaseing version 0.6 of the Hybrid Theme shortly after the release of WordPress 2.8.
