When will v1.7-Experimental 3 be released?

When will v1.7-Experimental 3 be released?
In the last community call, The presenters repeatedly emphasized that the next version would be released next week.
It's been 10 days since then!
How is a week calculated by Microsoft engineers? (According to what we learned in school, there are 7 days in a week. 🫤)
How bad is it that a company this big doesn't have the ability to plan and be on time? WinUI community is small enough, please don't bother the survivors with these things.
It would be helpful to provide a proper explanation. I hope one of you can give us a little update on what's going on.

Hey there, we're super happy to share that several new AI APIs have gone live as part of our 1.7 Experimental 3 release! We really appreciate your patience and acknowledge this is releasing later than initially expected. We're excited for you to try them out! Please let us know your thoughts/feedback.

Thank you @connorMicrosoft
Previously, new versions were released on Wednesdays. In the last few releases, new versions are released on Fridays.
Has the release date been changed to Friday?

Hi @ghost1372
We appreciate the question. No, we have not shifted our release cadence to adopt a new day. Future releases will continue to align with their specific dates.
