At this point, I'm using trunk for anything new I build. We're working
solely on completing a release at this point: Our number of tickets is
low, and there are only two outstanding serious development efforts
remaining. (Animated tile transitions and Better Popups.) Both are
reasonably far along. You can see the status of the current 2.6 release
at http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/Release/2.6 -- there are 2 tickets
awaiting commit, 9 tickets which need further work of some kind... and
291 closed tickets.    

Every time I've made a statement about an actual date, it's been wrong,
so I think that I'm just going to stick with "We're working only on
getting a stable and bugfree release out, and not adding any additional
features beyond the ones slated for this release."
