Hi Mike, > Any new news? ... on when 3.6.0 will be released. No, sorry, we've investigated some additional reports of problems that turned out to be user errors, and we're still making some configuration tweaks to support a few platforms better. Also I have to update the FAQ, which requires more time than I expected, and I had to get a proposal out to NASA that I wasn't expecting. As of now, we have no problems reported that we haven't fixed or intentionally postponed dealing with until 3.6.1, so there are no code changes left, only a couple of minor documentation issues, a few web page updates, and composing the announcement. Releasing 3.6.0 is at the top of our TODO list, but I can't predict with confidence when it will happen. I'd guess a better than even chance of release by next Monday. I'm CC:ing Ed Hartnett, in case he can provide a better estimate. --Russ
