Hi folks, I'm sorry there's been so little information on what's going on here; this has been a bad week and the delays have also been sort of day-to-day, without any clear feeling as to how long each delay will take. The situation is essentially thus: o We're very close to being ready with the RELENG_4_4 branch (AKA 4.4.0-STABLE), we're simply awaiting sign-off on some last-minute issues raised by the security officers. Once they say it's safe to release, the release build will begin. The RELENG_4 branch (AKA 4.4-STABLE) is open for business again and now proceeding along on its way towards 4.5-RELEASE in January 2002. o The ports collection has also suffered a bit of upheaval in the days leading up to the scheduled 4.4 release date and Satoshi's team is currently working on the final package bits. Once these are received and the sec-officers have signed off, we'll be ready to roll (this release)! I would expect all of this to happen in the next couple of days, but I'm not making any firm predictions at this time. Everyone has been very patient and I can only ask that they remain so for just a little longer.
