The other mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release is mostly courtesy of the language file translators, with
thanks for the huge amount of work they put into bringing the language
files up to date (a Hungarian translation has been added as well).  I have
a nagging feeling that I forgot to deal with someone's bug report--if you
reported a bug and never heard back from me, and it's not fixed in this
version, please let me know--but overall I think Services 5.0 should be
stable enough now to use on production networks, and the main reason I'm
waiting before releasing 5.0.0 is because the translators aren't finished.
Aside from Italian, which I still don't have a translator for, the
remaining languages are expected to be up to date by the end of September,
so I'm hoping to release a stable version by early October.
