Yesterday Matt Mullenweg announced the release of WordPress 3.7. Known as “Basie”, adds a fantastic new feature that allows maintenance and security updates to be applied in the background.
Strong password recommendations have also been integrated into the core. The new set up apparently recognises common mistakes that make a password weaker such as number patterns (12345) or names (David, Kevin, Thomas etc).
3.7 also includes improved search results. Previous versions only ordered search results by date. WordPress will now see how well a search query matches a post. This version also improves support for localised versions of WordPress.
So you all know the drill by now. Get updating :)

The idea of performing maintenance updates in the background is a great idea. Password strength is something I actually thought had been added before haha.
Just updated mine. I really like the new features that come along with 3.7.
