Hi, folks!
We're due for a new Drupal 7 release this Wednesday, to fix a problem in Drush 5 as well as several other bug fixes and improvements. However, due to some crazy upcoming travel, I'm not going to be able to roll the release on Wednesday as planned since I will be on a plane for most of the day. D'oh!
Therefore, I am planning to postpone the release until Monday, December 5 (one of the only days in December that I am home :D), which should also provide a couple of days to finish up some lingering issues. I'd like to freeze the code on Friday, December 2, just in time for DrupalCamp Ohio the next day. :D
And then, barring any sort of emergency problems, I'm not planning on rolling a release the last Wednesday of December so that everyone can enjoy some nice time with their family without their pagers going off. ;) So the following release will be January 25. Happy holidays!
