WordPress 2.5 Update

Has anyone heard the official release date of WordPress 2.5? It was officially supposed to be released March 10 then was pushed back another week to March 17. I have downloaded the “beta” version. A client of ours wants to integrate a blog to their website so I was going to attempt to use it, but started searching to find out when the “official” download was going to be released and found no information. Anybody know? If you “stumble” upon it, send us the link!
