Hi all, the vote for Pivot Release 2.0.5 has just started (see in Developers Mailing List) so we have time (up to Monday 03 July) to test release artifacts, and if all is ok it will be the new release, published in the usual way (after some days, for the mirrors to update).
Happy testing to all (but vote only for Pivot PMC Members) and if some problems should arise please tell to us.
