BRC Food Safety Standard - when is version 6 expected to be released

Hi,
I am preparing myself for a BRC Audit, I am not expected to have a BRC Audit at this point, but I want to be ready if it is decided I need to have it without much notice. I was looking at purchasing the standard but I am wondering when is version 6 expected to be released. I've seen quite a bit of talk in this forum and was curious if there was an ETA.
By the way, this is a wonderful site, with lots of great information!

Thanks Zee. I heard June / July.

The BRC packaging version 4 is out on 25 February.

Simon
