Not sure.

Currently I plan to work on this next week and on next friday we might
see a CVS update.

BUT I do plan a RC3 - mostly because it becomes more and more apparent
that I have to take a week to update stuff in the Extension Manager
before 3.6.0 comes anyways... (for instance that Extensions can be
depending on a specific TYPO3 version...! I'm sick of those mails about
"newloginbox" and soon that will be the same for any other!)

Thanks, I wasn't that happy about all this either!
