 I've not yet even started the release preparations - so definitely
the release is not coming out on Friday. Once I have the opportunity,
I'll try to squeeze the release out as quickly as possible, so I'm
still not promising you (mostly meaning translators) more time than
that (00:00 EEST Saturday), likely it might be that I need to push the
release date further.
