I'm sorry to not have made the release in time.  I can only say that the
reasons for that were far beyond my control.

I have recently applied some organizational changes (using gnulib as a
submodule, etc), which should make the build cleaner.  All that's left
is to give a final touch to the docs and allow translators a couple of
days to update localizations.

So, cpio 2.12 will be released on September 12.

Thanks a lot for your patience.

Sergey
