Matt Mullenweg has announced that the 2.2 release of WordPress that was due on Monday (23rd April) will be delayed.

The WP dev team has decided to hold back version 2.2 for at least a week or two from the original date of April 23 while we polish things up. I’ll post an updated release date as soon as we figure out how long everything is going to take. (Which is extra-hard in open source development.)

This is a real pity, but I guess it’s better that they get all the bugs sorted out now rather than later. Lorelle VanFossen has more details on what is coming.
