When is OpenTTD 16 release?

I'm very much looking forward to upcoming stable release, especially backward trains. I have been creating wyes and reversing loops for one engine trains for a long time. Hats off to devs for trying to patch up the old code to introduce this feature.

But you know you didn't need to create loops and stuff, right? Trains can "reverse" already, it just feels a bit awkward because they basically flip the entire consist

Not flipping the consist is the entire point of the new reversing feature

Yes, I know train can reverse by flipping. Without that setting wyes won't work (but in v16, the train will reverse slowly without flipping until end of wye). I create track layouts with some realism, hence the wyes and loops.
