Hi. all,

We’ve pushed back the release of v25.08 to try to address a reported regression ([issue here](https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD/issues/3750)) and include more documentation for the new OpenExec libraries. These changes have been published to GitHub and a new release candidate has been created with the `v25.08-rc2` tag.

We now intend to publish v25.08 on Thursday, July 31st.

Thanks!

- Sunya
