In the past several versions, they have announced later in the day with effect from the prior midnight (and I was a completely lucky beneficiary on at least 2 occasions, having coincidentally made bookings the previous late night after 12). However, I am assuming nothing this time and will wait until I see the rules. Ya never know.

Still working on a new EYW name while I wait and wait and wait for Monday, but I do have a few contenders (which I will share when the time comes).
In spite of the potential amusement and in the spirit of respect of intellectual property, I will not be using a deliberately similar or derivative name, so drunkercargo, canadianc0w (conodioncaw?) are out.

We're hard at work on the cowgorithm tonight.
We've improved handling of direct flights (like that pesky YOW-YQR-YXE-YOW), we've removed a big chunk of code that was useful in v3 but not so much any more, and we're optimizing the rest of it so it can run much faster.

We still need to validate the results, but initial tests show it's still accurate, and cowgorithm 2.0 is twice as fast.

EYW is a zero sum game. Can't share it with the world.
Also:
I know this is usually a solo thing, but if someone works out some good itins and wants to wingrun with me, I'll pay for 25% of your ai fare just for the companionship. Have homes in YVR, YTO, YUL, SFO, LAX and NYC so any of these places are preferred for overnight. Sorry, no spare bedrooms tho... I'm tango/flex friendly, nexus/ge/prechk 100%, and know how to shut up in Y cabin. =)

Eh, I'm not hugely interested in EYW, as much as I am in the APIs you're using to pull timetables and where I can get access. The Amadeus api is...not amazing.

past midnight here in the center of Canada and still not EYW. Why did I stay up, I will spend the day at work waiting for the game to start.
