Great news to hear! I have been quite smashed by work this last week and I saw that someone has already been faster than me at creating an announce on reddit for the release. I hope I'll be able to follow more strictly the project in the next week and keep in sync with everything (well, 10 unread mails in the TG folder right now) and I have to thank everyone for their effort in pushing out this release!
