[IPT] New IPT release (RC3) now available for download

Wed Feb 3 13:57:46 CET 2010

Thanks Dag,

I would just like to mention in addition that there will be a next  
release (mainly bug fix) of the IPT in the coming days / week.  It  
might be worth considering delaying migration until next week.

Best wishes,
Tim
