I’m sure there’s something called the Weekend Law, and that it works hand in glove with Murphy’s, especially in the context of a software release. We were hoping to release v2.2 of the Service Provider Edition by March 10, 2007 and celebrate over the weekend!
It seems the bubbly will have to wait!
If memory serves me right, there were two previous instances where we aimed for a pre-weekend release and ended up working through the weekends, through to the next week.
The good news is we did (in those two instances) have the releases the next week.
We’re currently shooting for (optimistic) March 12 / (pragmatic) March 14.
Thanks for your patience, and for all the feedback you’ve provided on the release candidate (approx. 1,200 mails were sent out last week announcing the release candidate and soliciting feedback).
