I assume most readers of this list know we have a quick off-cycle 
maintenance released planned for Friday, 7/30 ... tomorrow! 

Unfortunately, a last minute blocking regression was found that will cause 
us to respin our current candidate. See bug 321175. 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321175

This means the final build will not be ready until some time late on 
Friday, 7/30, then verified, and then we should allow some time for it to 
mirror. So, 
I propose we'll "announce" very late  on Friday (e.g. near midnight), or 
Saturday, or even as late as Monday, depending on how fast mirrors get the 
content, 
even though we will still make the build available on the download site, 
on 7/30, as planned, probably in afternoon. 

I wanted to announce this here, since normally we would never have a 
respin this near a release date, since many adopters make 
plans that depend on the final build produced last week. While we've 
talked to a number of adopters, we can't talk to all, so
I thought best to announce here on wtp-dev list, so that this departure 
from the norm would be communicated a little 
more widely than bug reports and status meeting minutes. 

Please do let us know if this impacts you in ways we have not anticipated. 


Thanks,
