I just update all my WordPress blog to the latest version (version 2.7). As normal I manually update them by replacing all the required files with the latest one. It should be very easy.
Before this I’ve been used WordPress Automatic Update plugin, and since it always give me some errors than I switched back to use the conventional way to do upgrade.
What’s new with Wodpress 2.7?
You can have a look on what’s new on WordPress 2.7 on Codex page here.
Basically for me, the major changes is on the admin area appearance where I’ve to take some times to go through all the functions and make me familiar with the location of all the links.
One new thing I just realized is the ability to install a new pulgin just from the admin area where we not required to upload the plugin folder using ftp or cpanel file manager. Anyway I still not try it yet. 
Auto update plugin function is not a new feature anyway, but I’ve tried it and still found error as usual. Only a few plugin able to be automatically upgrade but required to temporary change “wp-content” forlder permission to “777″.
So far, I think it’s a great update from the wordpress developer team. Thanks to them . If you still not upgrade yet your WordPress blog to latest version, then do it now!

I too had problems when I tried to upgrade to WP2.7. As a result my blog could not fully load and I had to restore my blog back to WP2.6.

Hi Peter, thanks for stopping by. Yes, sometimes we may facing issue due to upgrade. The important thing is to backup the database before we do the upgrade
