No. > Will some > pre-release message released some time before release Indeed, there have been many "real soon now" pre-release messages at regular intervals for the last +3 years. Compare this to Linus' announcement for the just released 2.6.21 kernel: + So it's been over two and a half months, and while it's certainly not the + longest release cycle ever, it still dragged out a bit longer than I'd + have hoped for and it should have. As usual, I'd like to thank Adrian (and + the people who jumped on the entries Adrian had) for keeping everybody on + their toes with the regression list - there's a few entries there still, + but it got to the point where we didn't even know if they were real + regressions, and delaying things further just wasn't going to help. With a similar release procedure for Emacs, Emacs 22.1 had been released in 2004, and 23.4 would be ready for release next month. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
