I plan to make a 2.5.11 release to fix a regression Longturn players
have reported in 2.5.10: <https://www.hostedredmine.com/issues/735238>
I may as well release 2.6.0-beta3 at the same time with whatever has
landed on the S2_6 branch by then. (I'm not sure if the next one after
that will be beta4 or RC1.)
I expect to start Saturday morning as usual (UK time).
As cazfi has said, strings are frozen on S2_5. Since S2_6 is still in
beta, strings aren't frozen there.
