WordPress 2.3 “Dexter” has been released today.

Also with 2.3 comes update notification for plugins and new WP versions, better URL management (for better search engine optimization), WYSIWYG upgrades, and better page and draft management. You can go on over to the Dev Blog to read about the new features in more detail.
