The development cycle for Mageia 6 has been delayed for several reasons, but now the team has things on track for a release before the end of the year =)

Due to this delay, they'll be releasing ISOs for Mageia 5.1, a "refreshed" version of Mageia 5 with all updates applied. Also, thanks to the delay, newer versions of key software will be included, like Plasma 5.8 (which is LTS) and Gnome 3.22.

I've been using this future Mageia 6 for a while now, and it's working great over here.

Kudos, Mageia team, and thanks! \o/
