Alas, we have encountered a blocking defect which is preventing us from releasing today. If we are able to resolve this defect in the next couple of days, we will work to have the fix in a new release candidate by the end of the week. And if that tests well over the weekend, then we will be on track for a release on Dec. 16. However, if it is not resolved by the end of the week, the reality is that this release will then most likely slip to January. I will post an update on the progress and revised schedule this Friday. --brad
