We're hoping for an early 2012 release, but, as always, that will depend on the code. The pretest process for 24.1 will be similar to that of 23.1. A few days before the pretest (I'll give a more precise date later), the trunk will go into feature freeze, disallowing new features and other major changes (e.g. new gnulib modules). Packages can still be added to elpa.gnu.org, independent of developments on the trunk. We'll use the trunk for most of the pretest, switching to a release branch only shortly before the release. Please plan accordingly. Thanks.
