OK. I will change the beta period plan to be longer and include several beta
releases one week apart. This means that the second beta will be moved to
Saturday then.
I think I squeezed the beta period to this short when we tried to fit in the
release before the start of the GSoC and since then I have just moved it
along without making it longer.
I though I had approved the message that Thomas wrote a few days ago. I must
have forgotten about it in all the hurrying along. It is now approved. Alas
it keeps the date from when Thomas created it. I will manually update to
todays date to make it clearer when the announcement was made.
