What is happening with the last two releases, both were delayed?
weinand commentedon Apr 4, 2019
Kamil Dzieniszewski (@dzienisz) no, we are always shipping the release in the week after the endgame.
You can always find the expected release date in the first comment of the endgame (above).
weinand commentedon Apr 4, 2019
