We have decided to cut a set of Beta packages on the 20th instead
of cutting RC1.  There are several outstanding tickets that we want
to get resolved for 0.24 and we think that it is best to delay the
Release Candidates slightly to make sure we have time to get these
resolved.  We still want to get some wider exposure and testing
though.  So, on the 20th, we will be releasing a set of Beta tarballs.
There will probably not be a formal announcement on the website
concerning these, but I will reply to this thread when the tarballs
are available for those who want to give what will be MythTV v0.24
a spin.  We don't expect the delay to be too long, so if you are
interested in the RC versions, but not the Beta tarball, please keep
an eye on the www.mythtv.org website which will be updated when RC1
is released.
