You should maybe read one of the numerous other threads asking about the exact same thing, or just follow CraftBukkit on twitter to get the latest updates.
Really? - I herd it got pushed back to November 12, 2013 When fudge nuggets like you stop posting "when will it be out".

There really should be a giant link pointing to the twitter updates on the home page. When I say giant, I mean, obnoxiously large text that you just can't miss.
For those of you who absolutely hate twitter, they've been updating on their progress over the last day and a half. Meaning, they've made most of it, but are just fixing a few bugs submitted by people. http://twitter.com/#!/Craftbukkit - @Craftbukkit:
I understand completely, @M1sT3rM4n. I'm simply insisting they stop asking and rather follow their twitter or at least take a look it. Because they've been updating those who do use twitter. You can, however, also find out if they are uploading an recommended build, and know when to get on and download it. Which they have not yet tweeted about it yet.
