Yeah, so in the past Tier 1 platforms (OS X, Win, Lin, FreeBSD) are
always available, but I rarely (if ever) held up RCs for anything
besides that. I do have a list of people to alert, though... (Karel
takes care of Solaris for example as time permits).
Even then, I wasn't always the one doing the builds... Gabor takes
care of FreeBSD for me. And Mark was doing the OS X builds before,
because he had an excellent test farm that allowed him to test a
release across an array of OS X versions.
Right now we're working on getting a Mac. I'll have short-term access
to one by tomorrow thankfully, and be getting a new machine soon. So
hopefully this won't be a problem going forward, although some
knowledge transfer from Mark might be in order. :)

Hi,

Personally, I would love delaying announcements such as these until binaries are available, at least for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
it’s a release candidate, announced on the developer mailing list. Isn’t such a mail a requirement for those wo build the various binaries to get active in the first place? Or is all done by Ben these days.
I’m happy to get the announcement as quickly as possible, as I was waiting for the source tarball :-)
Greetings, Joachim
