As usual, a release will be made when it is ready.
Currently, there are three major factors in readiness:
1. Procedural/legal. In April, the Debian Social Contract was modified [1].
These changes had consequences [2] for release management that weren't
anticipated (and possibly not intended) by many of the voters. Currently
a new General Resolution is being voted upon [3] which may undo or
curtail those consequences.
2. Release-critical bugs [4] which need to be dealt with.
3. The availability of an installation system. Work is being done towards a
release candidcate of the new Debian Installer [5].

Beta 4 of the Debian Installer has experimental support for the 2.6 kernel
on the i386 architecture. [6]
