Look for (or turn on in your Account page if it's not on) the Developer Links sidebar block. In it you will find a variety of useful links.
I don't know if you'd want this, or to check out the latest copy from CVS, but:
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-7.x-dev.tar.gz

Didn't know about blocks on/off in my profile. Cool feature. I installed it. Much the same to Drupal 6 in features in admin area until now?

I noticed some changes... Will have to take a closer look. Great software!

Will drupal 7 have any of these features in core:

- some cind of a simple wysiwyg editor or a simple "bar" with buttons for inserting BBcode or htmal?
-hotlinked image thumbnail creation or something simple with resizing image to max allowed image size
-simple voting support

:)

These features i miss the most in drupal 6 by defolult so i ask if anybody knows. I think none will make it in the core but still it doesn't hurt to ask. ;)

My understanding is that wysiwyg may be in core for 7 in some form. In the mean time, there are many choices... see BUEditor which meets the requirements you mentioned. For more detailed wysiwyg, I recommend FCKEditor.

Regarding images, there was a plan to have image support in core for 7, but I don't know if that is still happening or not, or if so to what extent. There has been a lot of progress though on solidifying the way files in general are uploaded and handled by Drupal, CCK, and Views (Filefield... ImageAPI... new versions of Imagefield and Imagecache... etc).

For voting support, see VotingAPI and various voting modules... I highly doubt that will ever be in core.

In post or node tpl i wouldn't mind if there would be something like $vote functionality for example. ;)

Some simple "thumbs up" "thumbs down" 2 button thing with procentage calculator. I wouldn't mind at all if that was in the core too.

Yes abaut images and wysiwyg i hope something will be in the core. At least hotlinking picture management... Upload picture management i agree is well supported.

BuEditor is great yes. I tried it. But i don't feel much comfort knowing project could stop at any time. Some third party modules just stop being supported some times.

any wysiwyg editor must have file upload.

a standard for the ultimate wysiwyg would be Google Apps Sites editor.
just 2 or 3 clicks and your image is attached to your article.
