Soon.  Please be patient.  :-)

The src/ tree has been tagged, but final builds take some time and
there's usually a very quick round of testing that the head release
engineer does at this point.  Then the images need to be uploaded to
ftp-master, and our policy is only make the release announcement after
at least a handful of mirrors have acknowledged receiving the
distribution.  Based on what I know of our status, I'd say it'll take
about a day or so assuming no last-minute hiccups.

Bruce.

PS.  OT note:  Slashdot jumped the gun (again) and posted a false story
about 4.6 being released.  It boggles the mind that they couldn't take
the time to verify this; a glance at the FreeBSD main Web page or a
quick email is all it takes.  What's even more unbelievable is that
they've done this for two consecutive FreeBSD releases.  Sigh.
