Your title says Nov 10, but the picture says Nov 21.
I'd guess 10th for preferred stores, 21st for general release.

No. I read about it in a news post here a few days ago.

The news post stated that it was going to be released to the DMs Guild for further playtesting. Unless I missed it, it didn't mention that doing so would exclude it from the November release, although there was some speculation here that it might (which is fairly reasonable speculation, hence my question on potential publishing turnaround times). That's why I was wondering if that had been confirmed in the feed.

Yeah, I just can't imagine that what they want to do with the classes - let people play them more, survey the people, and release the classes to adventurer's league first - could possibly have a timeline of less than a half a year if they actually want to get enough playtesting.
So I am making a guess, but I'm rather confident in that guess.
. . . I suck at guessing though . . .

@JeremyECrawford In Xanathar's Guide, each class gets 2 or more subclasses. The wizard gets 1.
@Hurmly New subclasses or the UA subclasses, polished to a high shine?
@JeremyECrawford The subclasses in Xanathar's Guide have appeared in Unearthed Arcana. The book contains the most popular ones in their finished forms.

The general release is Nov 21, while the early release date for WPN stores is Nov 10. That is what they said on-stream.Your title says Nov 10, but the picture says Nov 21.

No new surprises then? Bummer. I'll have to keep waiting for my Paladin of Freedom/Liberty.

[MENTION=6855149]Prakriti[/MENTION] might want to update the original post after the change from "at least 3" to "at least 2" new subclasses, just so people don't get confused or not read past the first post...

Updated. Mearls definitely said 3 on-stream, but apparently that figure was incorrect.
Personally, I'm a little surprised that this book includes both player options and DMing tools like traps and downtime tables. Volo's Guide was strange enough, combining player races with monster stat blocks as it did, but this seems even stranger to me. I've never really cared if players were familiar with monster stat blocks, because they'll figure those things out after playing long enough anyways. But traps and downtime are definitely behind-the-screen stuff that I'd want to keep out of the hands of players.
