March 30 was never a "deadline" - it was a very rough estimate of when
we thought we might get 1.6 out.  Unfortunately we're not quite ready
for 1.6 yet.  It may be a couple months off yet.  But, I think we will
have a 1.5.0 release much sooner.  The 1.5.x series of releases will
be developer/beta releases preparing for a solid 1.6 stable release.
The only thing really blocking a 1.5.0 release is setting up some
performance tests to root out regressions.

I'm glad you're looking forward to it, though!  If you want to test
the many many changes that have already been made since 1.4.3 - and if
you want to help get 1.6 out faster by fixing bugs - checkout the code
from svn - http://banshee-project.org/download/development

Thanks,
