Slight delay

Let me start by apologizing for this slight delay. I was hoping to release the update today at the latest. And I think an explanation is in order.
I was wrong in my calculations.
This week we had to finish rendering. We had 120 renders to do on Monday. That's including all the frames for the animations we had left. Given that I've set the max time for each render at 4 hours, my calculations were these: 4hours x 120 renders = 480 renderhours. 480 renderhours / 4 people rendering = 120 render hours per person. 120 render hours per person / 24 hours in a day = 5 days maximum time.
So I was hoping to have everything ready today at the latest.
What I didn't take into account, was down time. Someone is at work while their current batch of renders finishes, and the PC sits idle till he comes back. I'm sleeping as his current batch finishes due to the timezone difference between us, and the PC sits idle till I get up.
My apologies.
As of right now, I have 20 of the 120 renders still to send out. The rest are done. Hope to send them out tonight.
So, ETA till it's done is any day now. But I'm out of the prediction business.
Thank you for understanding
Ptolemy
PS: Reading that back, it may seem that the current update will be 120 renders long. No, it's 362 renders long. 120 were to be finished this week.
