Hi all,
the vote for Pivot Release 2.0.5 has just started (see in Developers
Mailing List) so we have time (up to Monday 03 July) to test release
artifacts, and if all is ok it will be the new release, published in
the usual way (after some days, for the mirrors to update).

Happy testing to all (but vote only for Pivot PMC Members) and if some
problems should arise please tell to us.

Bye,
Sandro
