They usually release at the end of the release day (approx 5-8 PT). Charles spends the whole day seeing how much he can add and fix without messing anything up in the process. As for the comments.... me neither.

In either case I was hoping for it even at 7am this morning PT since most people don't want to update their board at 8pm at night on a Friday night. I'll be going to the Vancouver Giants hockey game instead.. then I'll upgrade when I get home I guess.

The patches for our software would always go up on the web at midnight the day of the release. But I can't wait to see how much I'll have to do in order to go from 6.1 Beta 2.1 to 6.1 final?!

Normally we prefer to release after close of business, but we'll be breaking that tradition today. UBB.classic: Love it or hate it, it was mine.

Nav will NEVER release at midnight if he has anything to do with it because he doesn't want to be working that late anymore. Old Fart. I hope you all enjoy 6.1 as much as we all enjoyed working on it. There is a lot of Charles' hard work in there and I think he did a terrific job. Picture perfect penmanship here.
