What's new in 2.0 release candidate 1 (since beta 2)? ===================================================== +What is release candidate 1? + +We believe that release candidate 1 will fix all known bugs that we +intend to fix for the 2.0 final release. This release should be a bit +more stable than the previous betas. We would like to see even more +widespread testing before the final release, so we are producing this +release candidate. The final release will be exactly the same unless +any show-stopping (or brown bag) bugs are found by testers of the +release candidate. + All the changes since the last beta release are bug fixes or changes to build support for specific platforms.
