This is a reminder that I am going to start building the next alpha releases for Python 2.6 and 3.0 now. Please, no checkins unless you get approval from me, and until you hear that the freeze is lifted.

I am now on freenode #python-dev, IM, and Jabber if you need to contact me.

I've been battling the flu and got distracted for a few hours tonight, so I'm not quite done with the releases. However, I've tagged and tar'd 'em so it should just be a matter of uploading the files and updating the site. I should finish tomorrow. I'm thawing the trees, so you can go ahead and start committing things again, but /please/ be especially conservative over the next 24-48 hours. Make sure your changes don't break anything, just in case my virus-addled brain screwed something up and I need to cut another release. - -Barry P.S. Huge thanks to Benjamin Peterson, both for a quick last minute fix to the 3.0 NEWS file via IRC, and his wonderful release.py script. I've hacked it up a bit, but it was exactly what I was looking for, and it made things go much smoother this time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBR/RbOHEjvBPtnXfVAQKCOwQArrYXC9X3lOvqRTwWQ9SYPH+6n1VN4MrT WNm+jhsbiwZq8EuNslCBW3/52HP/wM7jlYizKZCL+cbcFaevNhWjjbPtwSTkJjVy /uKG/NcDYQsPH3n4mET3/XlF5JrfS51avLSD7YebucTph9+otzI8LkK0Unvdbtq+ /86m3lEZAlY= =q005 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
