Sorry - I should have made a point to keep the list up to 
date on this.

The plan is to release a 2.3.1 b2 on Wednesday (Mar 12) and 
probably one more beta a week or so after that, then a final. 

The reason it has taken so long is that a lot (a LOT) of work 
has been done on fixing outstanding problems with the Catalog, 
and finishing up was delayed somewhat due to many of the folks 
working on it attending Python 9. Some of the changes are 
pretty deep, so we are taking the time necessary to make sure 
that it is solid. Anyone using ZCatalog should feel a compelling 
need to buy Chris McDonough and Andreas Jung a beer when they 
see the sheer number of unit tests :)

So the short answer is: barring any major problems, I do expect 
2.3.1 to be final by 4/2.
