I am finishing up the release engineering today and will roll an ISO for overnight distribution to our mirrors this evening, along with the necessary web pages and such. I am going to give our mirrors a day to get the ISO's before I make the web pages live so the official release is going to be on Saturday (7 Jan 2006)!
I know there are some issues with regards to timezone selection, MFS specifications, pkgsrc, etc, but I think we are just going to have to live with them for this release. I will create an errata page where the issues can be listed. -Matt
