Last week was a great time to be a Windows Insider, as Microsoft pushed out builds to the Slow Ring, Fast Ring, and to those who have opted to Skip Ahead. With that busy week now behind the team, the head of the Windows Insider Program has revealed that Insiders will need to wait a bit longer for news of a new build.
#WIndowsInsiders: we will let you know by 3 pm if we are flighting today or not. Thanks!

News on a new build will come by 3:00 PM PT, which is 6:00 PM in ET (convert to your time zone by clicking here.) This is a relatively late time for a build release, but according to subsequent tweets from Dona, appears to be the ideal time for release, since people “building the product are actually at work” during this time.
Anyway, we will be keeping our eyes peeled for a new build, and will also be monitoring Dona’s tweets for an update on the issue which has been plaguing Windows Insiders who have installed new builds to the Surface Pro 3 devices. Follow us on Twitter, or like us on Facebook to make sure you won’t miss the new build news when it happens!
#WindowsInsiders: we will not be flighting today and we will have workaround/recovery steps for the SP3 issue soon

Update: Dona Sarkar has said the Windows Insider team will not be flighting any new builds today (Monday.) She is also promising that Microsoft will have workaround/recovery steps for the SP3 issue soon.
