Right after freeze on this tuesday, version 2.6.2 was issued as a stable bugfixing release with updated translations. It would be good to get the package in to spare mirrors the burden of having a ~16MB update right on GA, to have the most up to date translations in the Live media as well as fixes for some crashers (see below). I've tested the package locally and haven't seen it malfunctioning.
