WordPress MU 2.8.1 Beta released!

Exciting news here folks, Donncha has just released the next version of WPMU and we have skipped right ahead to 2.8.1.

You know the drill – download it, test on a non-production site, and nail down as many bugs as you can to file in trac.

There’s some nifty things sneaking in, see if you can find some before I make a list. :)
