Hey,
From the looks of the criticals queue, we need to push out an RC4 before the final release can be rolled. We fixed several critical issues in the last few days, and some are still to be fixed. The list is not too long, so please help test patches there: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&categories=bug,task&prioritie...
I also drafted an RC4 announcement for publication. If someone feels like making it better, hop to http://drupal.org/drupal-6.0-rc4 (only people with permission to edit unpublished full HTML nodes again). Ideally, RC4 could be out in around 8-9 hours today, but the critical bugs will define the exact schedule. It would be great to see a final 6.0 out early next week. Please help in the criticals queue to make this happen. Minor code tweaks might make the code look better, but in fact do not help the Drupal 6 release stabilize as much as the same time spent on the critical bugs. Thanks, Gabor
