Hi, Since it's a bank holiday tomorrow and our release manager is on holidays till Sunday night we're postponing the 1.9RC1 release to next Monday. This means committers can still commit non risky *bug fixes* on the 1.9 branch for the coming few days and thus progress on the work that needs to be done for 1.9RC2. 1.9RC2 release date is maintained to 1st of June. Note that 1.9RC2 == 1.9 final. Thanks -Vincent
