From the article:
Update at 11:00 AM EST: Digia has contacted TNW [TheNextWeb] to say that “some last minute technical issues” have delayed the launch until December 12. Downloads are now expected to go live at 10:00 AM CET (4:00 AM EST) [9:00 GMT], or about 22 hours later than previously planned.
Seems it's rc1[1].
Feature list is present here[2].
