Pre-release means 1 week until public, right? Figures that when I finally decide to stop waiting and download v0.17 that v0.18 would finally be done.
What it says is pre release "1" There would be no point in putting the 1 there, unless they knew that there was a chance of a 2 coming along.
With that said, do not count on a week till full release.
Now, if it said Release "1" then that could imply that it was an early release for donors, but it says pre release, not release.
I could be wrong, but it is best not to get your hopes up, or do things that will get other peoples hopes up.
In the past, Runey has always posted here to let everyone know that it was being released to subscribers, and what the eta was for release here.
that has not happened...
