Release date for PS 26.6?

Really don't want to clutter my installation with the minor bugs that come along with 2nd iteration of Photoshop, but really need that selection tool upgrade 😅 any idea when is the release date?

I have used the beta version as my default ev er since it became available.  The biggest downside is that it requires weekly updates, and sometimes more often than that, but judging by the time the updates take, the download file is much smaller than a full major update.  I have only occasionally found issues with bugs, and the team is quick to respond to them.

The upside is access to new features which are often beyond significant, and the beta's extraordinary ability with selections is probably the best example I can remember.

The three images below are original, release and beta with the last two the result of Select Subject, and add Layer Mask. There's no further touch up, and the difference is extraordinary and addictive.   We have no way of knowing when the release version will have this update, and I can't think of any meaningful reason to deny yourself this level of performance while waiting.
