It seems theres already a new release after the major release of WordPress 2.6.
Its nothing much important or something to burden the wordpress bloggers, it looks like its just a mainenance patch thats fixes some issues that were found in the last major release of wordpress which was WordPress 2.6 – WordPress 2.6.1 has been released just about 1 month after the last one.
It isn’t required to upgrade to this latest release, but if you are having trouble with your current version of wordpress you should most likely upgrade as soon as possible.
I’m not sure, if i’ll be upgrading any time soon. I’m not having any trouble with the current but i just dont like to see that link at the bottom of the Administrator Panel saying Get version 2.6.1 :s so i might do it later some time.
I’m highlighting the issues, but to see the complete detail visit the Offical WordPress Post
- Improved Admin Interface styling for right-to-left languages
- gettext bug caused by certain PHP configurations is now fixed.Â
- WordPress 2.6.1 fixes alot of permlink problems, For IIS users.

pretty odd.. it still shows the latest is 2.6.1 over there but thanks for info 
Thanks for the notes on that, the “update now” message has been bugging me for some time, I think I might let it bug me until 2.6.2, as I can’t see any too compelling reasons to update in that list!
