Notes & Domino 8.5.2 just appeared on IBM's PA servers...

I usually don't check IBM that often but today something somehow urged me to check it and - voilà - 8.5.2 is there waiting to be downloaded. I just hope that the Linux port can be installed on Ubuntu Lucid (that's 10.04) so that I can upgrade my work rig to something more recent than Karmic.
You have to have a valid subscription to download the beast, though.
