Hello,
it's been discussed a few times, including both conferences this year, but after community feedback, we've moved to 2 monthly release cycles. Many people found the monthly releases meant too much work, and the short period of time between releases meant that in some case inadequate testing. By switching to 2 monthly release's the development team have 5/6 weeks of work before passing the release off for 2/3 weeks testing to QA, so releases contain more fixes and are higher quality.

In addition we've changed to 2 major feature releases a year i.e. one every 6 months. These will be the releases where new functionality is introduced, but in some cases we will add new functionality in the 2-monthly releases, but only where it's approriate e.g. the razor support is actually a new module so has no core changes (whilst I've not tested, the razor module should work in older versions of DotNetNuke also).

The 5.6.1 release is not actually blocked by razor, it's in QA at the moment and development stopped 2 weeks ago, except for bugs that QA discover. We're waiting on some last minute Microsoft changes that may require razor module updates, but the 5.6.1 release is still planned for mid-January.

Thanks,
Cathal

Sandro, I don't know what radeditor problem you're talking about (there are a number of known issues), but you can see what is in 5.6.1 in the roadmap, as well as what is planned for 5.6.2 - http://support.dotnetnuke.com/project/Project.aspx?Tab=Roadmap&PROJID=2 . As the editor is a provider you can of course switch it to use the FCKEditor or download and install an alternative provider e.g. http://radeditor.codeplex.com/ (which as you can see is what we'll be changing to in 5.6.2)
