I suspect this release is in response to some of the uproar (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1545773, albeit dead) on the Rails list about the lack of a release and general lack of communication between the core team and the community regarding when a release might be expected.

Heh, if only it was that easy to get a release of Rails to happen! I'd use that more often myself.

This release happened because we have a candidate that's close enough to release that we wanted to get it out.
