Billy Teng said he would have changes in the Test Center Pub 69 thread that he would have changes for the casting while running and other issues after Thanksgiving. So we'll probably see those later this week.
This is all speculation, I have no source. But if I was a project manager, I'd like to publish the second week in Dec. Fix immediate issues up to Christmas, and then be able to enjoy the holidays. The last publish was High Seas in Oct. So that makes sense to me.
If they don't publish before Christmas, I suspect they are going to fit other stuff in the publish and I agree they would target a Feb release.
