WordPress 1.5 Coming on Tuesday?

Matthew Mullenweg, one of the lead WordPress developers, announced a WordPress 1.5 upgrade party in San Francisco on Tuesday (with the note that he “had originally planned for it to be Monday”).

Tuesday, Feburary 15th, from 6-11PM, I will be hosting an upgrade party for people interesting in moving their blogs to 1.5. There will be food, drink, and wi-fi, so bring a laptop or your account details and get your blog on the most advanced blogging software in the world. You can upgrade from any previous version of WordPress or any other platform we have an import script for. […]

Of course, this prompted many to ask in the comments whether that meant WordPress 1.5 was being released on Tuesday (or Monday). And Matt just played it coy, saying that “1.5 will be released when it’s ready, no sooner and no later. :)” Well, it’s commonly known that WordPress 1.5 is just about done, so maybe it’s coming out after all.

And I, for one, welcome our new open source blogging software overlords.
