I call FAIL.

Get him to provide email headers, as they wouldn't spam everyone on the mail system just to announce it.

Need proof before I believe that, it's nothing more than the typical announcement but the poster added effective date, and "starting 3/30", which BTW wouldn't be done if they sent out an email, because that it redundant, they would just have effective date and below that the sentance without "starting 3/30"
 
You can count on all the idiots to post about a 2.1 release now, because then they will follow it up with April Fools jokes. Ugh.

The joke is on us already, from the last two supposed updates.
 
again 2.1 seems to be rolling out now...........once we get the update package in a zip...we will host and put it up for everyone
