Sorry to keep you all waiting. It is indeed as @paulakreuzer says; we needed to meet some critical deadlines with Android 6 and @anon36364121 helped with that.
Good news is that FP Open 17.01 is scheduled to be released today!
But before you all start updating it is fair to also say that FP Open 17.02 is scheduled to be released next week!
So if you use OpenGAPPS, Xposed or other extra’s that make updating somewhat more work, you might want to wait another week and skip 17.01. (That is what I am doing anyway 
)
And yes; this does include a fix for the timebug!
