Sorry to hear that. Good to have 2.1.5 as soon as you've got time for it.

No, the above paragraph referred to "2.1.5 this weekend".

Depends on whether Nathan thinks he can package the Windows binary  
between Friday evening and Saturday evening. Also, if you have other  
date proposals, please add then to  
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Schedule so that the others can  
see what the current idea is.

Yes, I was wondering about that as well and so far I don't have an  
answer to that, too. Nathan and I thought all ideas should be  
collected on http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/PR_planning but so far we  
don't have much.
