1.6 themes should be barely affected. I'm trying to limit the amount of JavaScript in templates which takes out some editing but most of the default theme changes are an occasional div tag or class addition.
I'll be doing a step by step guide to changes in a theme with the beta release.

It will be available to everyone. Big Board owners only get access to
some releases earlier to patch there boards for security vulnerabilities or for testing performance improvements on larger installations.
Cool so we can have a play with the software before makin the switch from 1.6.x to 1.8

There will be a few betas released over the period of a few months (As we add more features/bug fixes/etc..), then a 1.8.0 release. We'll be supporting 1.6 for quite a while after (I'd say at least 6 months, maybe longer) before dropping support/security fixes for that series.
The way I see it, it will be similar to when 1.6 was in development. Things could change from how it was done then though.
Not sure I'll upgrade to be honest. I'm not sure it's worth it as there's not exactly any significant changes
.
You'll want to upgrade. It'll have Spam Ninja.
(wait was I supposed to say that? Oh well.)
Also using that reason you wouldn't want to upgrade from 1.6.6 to 1.6.7. There are way more changes from 1.6 -> 1.8 then there were in 1.6.6 - > 1.6.7.
1.6 plugins, themes, and everything will be compatible.
Yeah, it was mentioned in the blog post that Spam Ninja had been scrapped and it's features were written into the 1.8 core instead.
Oh, ok
