It's not even the first time it's been asked on this page

Aaaand just like I expected I've been bumped to a new page xD so by this page I now mean last page.

Just tell us if 'tuesday' means something like minutes after midnight, or during actual workhours on said day? Not sure if I should go to bed tonight if it's the former.

They'll probably be running tests right up until they release it and if they find anything moments beforehand and maybe the build takes longer than expected or a thousand other variables it could be delayed for a few hours. They might still be waiting on a graphic or two. They might not even have a time they intend to release it, just whenever everyone gives the green light. Regardless they clearly don't want to commit to a time.

Speaking from my experience performing software releases I'd expect it to be in the morning (Prague time GMT +2) as early as they can make it, they'll want to be on hand for any issues that arise for as long as possible.

Does anyone know, what time 0.15 will be released? Or does anyone know, what time, the earlier versions were released? At 12am? And what timezone?
no one seems to answer that question...its not the first time it was asked

It will tell you that a new update is available and ask you whether you want to update when starting the game if the "Check for updates when launching Factorio" and "Enable experimental updates" options in Options --> Other are enabled.
You can also download the installer/zip-versions for the new update from the website as soon as it is released, check for the "experimental" link on the downloads page.

Steam will not automatically update the game, you'll need to explicitly opt-in on the Betas tab in the game properties.

Don't want to crush your hopes, but the last updates always went life at working hours, by which I mean czech working hours. If you live in America, you could get lucky. If you live in Australia, you are most certainly out of luck ;)

Yes, yes and yes. Heat pipe is power source, boiler and heat exchanger are same entity type. And steam engine and turbine are same entity type.
Does this mean that we can click on the heat pipe to see the heat produced and consumed, just like in the electric network window?
Waste of bytes : P

When it will be released:

Just look the last 3-4 major released it will be around 11 am and 18 pm. So working times. But my guess is evening... so still a lot of time to run in circels.

So, am I just horribly missing it, or is there no mention of belt optimization in the release info?
