Imagine this weekend when ppl like me have the time to manually update! 🙂
I bet a lot of people have more than one site as well. I’ve installed 2.7 on about 5 sites so far. It seems really great so far.
Hi Ryan,
Congrats on the 2.7 release.
I saw in the SVN log that you originally committed the new comment API. I had been waning to write an app that alerted me to new comments (I run quite a few wordpress system for many people) and that API finally made it possible. I have release the app as freeware: http://www.wpnotifier.com
Thanks for your efforts. The API may not be glamorous but I appreciate your work.
Even better, it doesn’t include those of us that install via SVN, so usage would be higher than that number!
Holy smokes! And I thought I was beating the crowd.
Installed slick as a whistle. You guys have done a fantastic job! Thank you all very much.
Does that exclude the automatic upgrade from wordpress panel? If that excludes, then this is seriously an amazing statistics granted that wordpress 2.7 was released 20 hrs ago.
Impressive stats none-the-less. I don’t think I have ever seen WordPress have this many downloads this fast. In fact, I can’t remember this happening in 2 days, but I could be wrong on that statement.
Just installed it and liking it so far; very spiffy looking, just playing with it and getting used to the changes.
Look forward to for a long time of 2.7
what about svn updates?
After first public release WordPress 2.7 a really excellent software.
Best regards 😉
That’s great news 😉
2.7 is really awesome!
Wow! Thanks for the info. I use the automatic upgrade plugin and I never have problems upgrading to the latest WordPress release. This means I don’t visit WordPress to download the files and don’t know the number of downloads :).
Great News! Good job for WordPress team!
I’ve already updated one of my blogs, another will follow. 🙂
I was one of the 100,000 and I have to say it is great. Once you get used to the new admin panel, it is so much easier to manage and I’m finding my site run just that little bit quicker. Well done to all involved.
Wow, that’s a great number
2.7 is really great! i love it!
WordPress, The Next Big Social Networking Plataform!
We unloaded WP 2.7, unpacked and uploaded in our server.
That is it all.
It asked to update database, and it did it fast.
It works perfectly.
Nothing to report.
All plugins are working.
We took part to the Administrator interface survey.
WP is now much better then before.
And it was not bad at all.
Best compliments to everybody involved!

VERY impressive … but you’ve also made a GREAT version
Coool!
it damn rich improve WP2.7 I Likes ~!
I am one. 😀
How the heck can the servers handle that.
I think it would have been more but many users are prolly afraid to use the one click upgrade because of the expected high traffic; and don’t want to use the manual upgrade until their mind is in it
2.7 is great, and that is quite and accomplishment, congratulations.
WP 2.7 is TOTALLY awesome, and it is around 190-200,000 downloads right now. The download amount is crazy/insane/awesome!
Saloute for WordPress…
WordPress is the best of open source blog…
Great…
One download => 6 sites updated without a single problem…
How about counting who still using 2.3.3 version. Sorry just curious
I got mine… Wait, I got three. I am the using WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin, so each blog I updated downloaded a new copy. I am still getting used to the new dashboard/admin screen, but so far I love it. Keep up the GREAT work. WordPress is a tool that I don’t want to have to live without. I could get by, but it would be REALLY HARD.
Thanks.
WordPress is currently the best option for creating blogs.
