What is a Release Candidate?
A release candidate (RC) is a beta version with potential to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. At this stage, functionality development is completed and tested through at least one or more beta cycles.

If no major bugs are found, a public release will be made. If however bugs are found that are considered sufficiently important to delay the release, we will make a second release candidate. This process continues until no significant bugs are discovered during the testing period for the latest release candidate.

As always, please remember that this release is not officially supported and we do not recommend running pre-release software in a production environment.
