In the latest livestream he did (yesterday/today, depending on your timezone), he said it's "a 50/50" on whether or not it's releasing this month, and that most of the things are already in place and all that's left is fine-tuning and such. Here's hoping.

Hmm single digits, probably on issue 7 as of this date i guess roughly, ehh, pushing back two day average per nugget. Toad'ys been pretty active on his computer (from more forum activity than normal) so it looks like he's been present at said computer whittling through it

Then again they might just take the weekend off to take a break, then return to it on the working week.

My new guess is the 18th.

My estimate is around the 20-22ndth.

At least it won't be nearly as long this time for my requisite utilities to update, I'm fine sticking on 43.05 for a month or two but I don't want to wait for another 64-bit update if you catch my drift :P All their work (and Toady's of course) is very much appreciate, though, no matter how long it takes! Better to get it out as polished as possible, than as quickly as possible.

My impeccable analysis trying to predict release date followed the next technique:

I took the Bible, opened the Book of Revelations, then took the current month (10.) as a chapter and date (8.) as a verse. The verse had 37 words in it. DF alpha was released on August 6th, 2006. 6+2+0+0+6 = 14. Now let's subtract this from the first number and we get 23.

This is the release date - 23. October.

But won't the release date change every day since every day there's a different Bible verse you have to read?

The trick is to only make predictions semi-seriously.  That way, I don't have a 98% failure rate. I have a 98% sarcasm rate.

Only if you are unbeliever.

Given the "yummy, yummy dev nuggets", my estimate has been blown out of the water :-)

The question is: does Toady have sauce for the nuggets?

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.

You are all wrong because you have all failed to use Scamps in your calculations.

Only three days till my prediction is proven right...!

On the other hand, only four till my prediction is proven wrong...

November 12th. Because it would suit me. Things never work out so I might as well jinx it the other way for you guys. I call it reverse demonstration effect.

I smell a bit of bluff in the last dev post, I reckon we could see it by Wednesday!
