It's still far too early for a release date to be set. For comparison, going from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0 took eighteen months or so, and 2.5 has been going for about five months. > Are there certain new features that the end user will notice? If so > what are they? -- Better support for hot pluggable USB devices -- a different configuration system (possibly including device autodection) -- the enhanced security work from the NSA -- better power management (especialy ACPI) -- better performance, hopefully. plus any other interesting stuff which gets written in the meantime.
