Shave 9.6 is now live on epic's github. There are a few steps you need to take to get it, it's a bit convoluted, but once you're set up you're good.
1) create an unreal login (www.epicgames.com)
(epic will send you an email verification)
2) create a github login with the same email address
(github will send you an email verification)
3) On your unreal login, go to your profile, and hit 'personal', from there, click on 'link accounts' and click on the github icon.
This will link the two accounts.
4) EpicTeamAdmin will send you an invite email, accept it.
5) you should now see our archive (Shave-and-a-Haircut 9.6), in that archive there is an 'installers' folder where you can find current binaries for the installers on all supported platforms and versions of maya.
Run the installer, you should be good to go.
Epic has a blog page here, it's a slightly less detailed version of the above :
