Various issues which came up over the weekend have meant that we’ve decided to delay the release of 4.1 by another 24 hours. The new target release date is Wednesday 17th December. It doesn’t serve anybody well to delay things this late in the day, but it’s essential to ensure the late fixes which have landed in the last few days are well tested.

RC2 will be packaged within the next few hours, once the recent batch of fixes in trunktrunk A directory in Subversion containing the latest development code in preparation for the next major release cycle. If you are running "trunk", then you are on the latest revision. are merged into the 4.1 branchbranch A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses branches to store the latest development code for each major release (3.9, 4.0, etc.). Branches are then updated with code for any minor releases of that branch. Sometimes, a major version of WordPress and its minor versions are collectively referred to as a "branch", such as "the 4.0 branch".. Here’s the current list of open tickets in the 4.1 milestone.

We’ll try to fit in a release dry-run meeting today at 17:00 GMT (December 16 2014 17:00 UTC) in #core, depending on the availability of the lead devs.

#4-1, #dry-run
