NetBeans IDE 6.1 Released

NetBeans IDE 6.1 has been released. I had posted that it was to be released on April 23rd, 2008, but it didn’t happen. The NetBeans site latter on updated its release road map for an April 28th release. Why wasn’t it released on April 23, 2008? The NetBeans release guidelines states that there must be at least one week between the last release candidate and the final release. NetBeans IDE 6.1 RC 2 was released on Arpil 21rd, 2008, so exactly a week after it they have released the final version.
