Well keep in mind that that is not always true. It was true with UBB
However Threads is kinda different. 6.1 was released on a Monday if memory serves me. I got an email a Wednesday or Thursday from Infopop saying it would be released in a week so waiting till Friday would make them liars. If they hold true to the newsletter they sent our should be any day.
Monday's a logical day of the week for releasing a new version. If there are problems (and there always are), then everybody's in the office for the next few days to deal with them.
I just cant wait untill 6.2 is released. I have been testing the br2 and so far I havent had any problems for the most part. I am hoping we would get 6.2 as a Christmas present.
