My reasoning for the 0.39 update releasing on July 14th
First, before I explain the reasoning, note: This is just a guess, and there is no real evidence. I also realize this is kinda silly.
How I got the number July 14:
Somebody pointed out that the date in the latest teaser was 8/23/2041 as a joke saying that it would be coming in 2041. But what about Aug 23? It is a very low chance it will come out on Aug 23, because thats a Sunday. Then I asked myself, how did they chose that year? Seems kinda random. I wonder if you reverse the 41, so you get 14. July 14th.

>not many weeks left and so much todo still
By that they might mean anywhere from 1 week, to 3 weeks. But we do know the update is coming very soon.
The update seems to near completion due to the heavy teasing. Plus, I noticed that all the scene presets were made the day before the teaser was released, to me that means that the teaser was very easy and quick to record, which shows that the graphics and menus are mostly finished.
The devs may want to release the update near to July 12th because of all the rumors going around about the 12th.
Gemini probably knows way more about this kind of thing than I do, so after I had my theory, I asked it what date it thinks the update might come out, at first, when asking it, I did not tell it about my July 14th theory. It told me that July 14 or 18th are the most likely.
It could also just be some bug, or smthn, again, idk how the devs work, just a random idea I had. :)
