Keep in mind it might not totally be their call. Apple might have a say in release date to coordinate things of their own for example...
We don't know the behind the scenes. Could involve lawyers and NDAs embargo's being lifted etc.

Since this is the case, what does July 17 mean?
Why send an icon of July 17th?

No release today, but probably good to stagger things with EmberGen going public today.

We were expecting 10.15.6 to drop a bit earlier this week, to ensure a day or two of testing done on it before our release. We will instead have to do this over the weekend for a final, final round of testing on today’s 10.15.6 GM with our (awesome) closed beta group before the release goes live.

That’s the latest! Just wanted to make sure all knew where we are at as we get ready to count down the final hours to launch!

The countdown starts:
1 day? 2 days? 1 week? 1 month? Or?
You are very talented for acting! ;)

I’ll take that bet

I take it that Goldorak lost the bet. What was being wagered?
I believe hobirchina deserves a free month of service.

Same here – and to try Embergen when the macOS build lands later in the year. Exciting times!

MacOS is a stepmother and lacks many key tools. Even the EmberGenFX released just now does not have MacOS. Forget it, I don't want to wait any longer. It seems I need to replace the device. Maybe XPS17 2060Max-Q is more suitable for me. jobs.
