A very reasonable question. You can see the pertinent data here:

For the question you're asking, the "done" pane is useful to open.

Based strictly on the last few weeks of completed work and the estimates 
for the upcoming work, the week of May 24 is the current extrapolation. 
I would like to think it'll come sooner than that (as our progress in 
terms of units completed was faster earlier), and there's a possibility 
that it will come later, but I'd be surprised if it's much later.


Just to be clear, what I was referring to in the quote above, where I 
told Tim that something was almost done, is this:

I understand there's just a bit of work left there, but we're mainly 
focused on the UI display issue at the moment.
