We've had people notice new commits and are attempting to build based on that. The release is not done. Makefiles have not been updated to support the changes. Also, if you manage to build, you won't be able to join the network. Give us a couple of days to finish up and get out an "official" release.
Treat this as a typical OSS project where devs push commits between releases.
Hold tight!
P.S.: don't go crazy buying. These are minor improvements.
