@raducoravu,
You can pick up SNAPSHOT builds from the Apache Snapshot repository
anytime. For the actual release, it might happen during or after the US
Thanksgiving holiday but that is only a guess. Since we are all volunteers with
busy schedules and the release process is somewhat ponderous, it might or might
not happen in that timeframe. @rgoers, any thoughts ?---
