But did they specifically say that the update is ready and they haven't uploaded it because of such server issues? Because I find that difficult to believe.
that info was not in my mail, but I tend to remember an email I saw in which they said, that they need to be sure that the website is ready, and that their update already works flawless...
Don't forget that they seem to also have some problems with their staff, since they said, that due to "Christmas season, it takes a little longer than expected to have an up to date site."
So I assume, that they lack some staff which went into holidays.
