I expect so, but it's gotten confused. Since I got up today ,

+ I'm building a 2.1.3 Windows installer too.

[Guido]

Which you offered to do earlier this weekend.

Sure, but it was left undecided then -- I offer to do a lot of things it turns out nobody wants .

+ I believe we're no longer uploading anything to SF, although I'm not sure Michael and Anthony both believe that.

AFAIK they were cc'ed on the msgs where that was decided.

Then perhaps I wasn't. I only deduced it indirectly from one piece of email that suggested it might be the case, buried in a layer or two of quoting. So I believe it's prudent to make sure everyone who was supposed to get that email actually did (esp. since I don't believe I did, unless it's hiding in one of the 100+ new "stability" emails I haven't had time to open yet).

+ A very recent msg from Guido said we were releasing 2.2.1 today too, which is ahead of Michael's schedule (in response to the 2.1.3 Windows semi-surprise, I had intended to push 2.2.1 Windows off to Tuesday night).

Fine with me. I didn't mean the reference to "tonight" as a directive to the release manager, it was what I believed, sorry if I was wrong. This is Michael's call.

Cool. Michael has stuck to his release schedule since announcing it, and I see no reason we can't meet it.
