Is there a reason it should after? Aaand Steve corrects me. We shouldn't release both 5.26.0 RCs along with other maint RCs because it would make it harder to focus on when testing. I will work on shipping RCs as quickly as I can. Hopefully we'll have fewer of those and be able to make the official .0 release on the 20th. We could then make room for 5.24.2 and 5.22.4. I hope that's clearer. Thanks for the correction, Steve. :)Thread Previous
