CyanogenMod 11.0 M6 is here! Along with it are some notes from the CM team, including that the "M" builds have supplanted the need for "stable" releases. (And that's why you won't be seeing "RC" builds either.) Why is that exactly? According to the CyanogenMod blog:
Like the 'stables' before it, 'M' releases are built off the 'stable/CM-##.#' branches – the only difference is now frequency and label. We could have chosen to remove 'M' releases and stick with the 'stable' tag instead for these monthlies, but the word 'stable' itself is a misnomer – it doesn't mean bug free and it certainly never meant feature complete; but with the name 'stable' it gave the false impression that it did mean those things – especially to those risk-adverse that would only hop from 'stable' to 'stable'.
CM also says the goal is to get releases out every 2 weeks going forward. Now, on to the changelog and download link!
