Which also gives them time for another round or two of bugfixes if needed.
Edit
Just had a chance to play with the new 1.0 pre-release launcher (for Minecraft 1.6). Have now installed / setup / created profiles to launch Minecraft versions:
1.6 pre-release
1.5.2
1.4.7
1.3.2
1.2.5
1.1
1.0
beta 1.8.1
...and a custom 1.5.2 with Forge and mods installed.
All have launched and played successfully. Am quite happy with it.
should be coming tomorrow yes I'm exited how do I know? because last week it was June 20th that was the day where it said next week 1.6 "the horse update" will come out hope I helped
In all honesty, nobody knows. They hope for next month, I believe, but delays happen.
Because they don't want idiot people who steal there game to play.
