WordPress 2.8 Baker is now available as a full release. 2.8 has a whole bunch of bug fixes, has improvements to themes and widgets and has added some fantastic taxonomy features. The WordPress dev blog post linked above goes into detail about what is new. Users are now able to browse the WordPress theme directory and add themes with one click. 2.8 should also be faster to use overall.
