[Apologies for the short notice here; this was lost in a BeOpen mail server for about 24 hours.]

We are still on schedule to release 2.0b1 on Sept. 5 (Tuesday). There are a few outstanding items that we need to resolve. In order to leave time for the admistrivia necessary to produce a release, we will need to have a code freeze soon.

Guido says that typically, all the patches should be in two days before the release. The two-day deadline may be earlier than expected, because Monday is a holiday in the US and at BeOpen. So two days before the release is midnight Thursday.

That's right. All patches need to be completed by Aug. 31 at midnight. If this deadline is missed, the change won't make it into 2.0b1.

If you've got bugs assigned to you with a priority higher than 5, please try to take a look at them before the deadline.
