Thinking back to the 0.8 release , the "release" date is a bit of a best-case-scenario. The usual schedule for a milestone release is : 1) Wednesday : Freeze the trunk 2) Friday : Branch the milestone from the trunk 3) Weekend : Test that puppy! 4) Monday : release. For 0.8.1, these correspond to (1) 14th, (2) 16th, (3) 17-18th, and (4) 19th of March, respectively. For 0.8, these dates were (1) 7th, (2) 9th, (3) 10-11th and (4) 12th of March. So 0.8 was due to release on 12th Feb. It didn't actually hit the FTP servers until 14th Feb. Hey, 2 days late isn't too bad for the software development world. I believe that there was some excitement last week involving the win32 build machines, which may have complicated the schedule a bit, but the branch did happen more-or-less on schedule as far as I can tell, so I expect that the 0.8.1 release is imminent. -- gav
