Moderators rridgely Posted September 6, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 6, 2006 Its just another stage before the final release. I'm not sure why lately everything has to go from beta to rc to final release. Used to you just saw maybe one beta and then the final release.

res45 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I read somewhere today the final release was suppose to be out by the end of the year. It was a reliable source but I have read about so much today I dont remember who or where I read that. Using RC1 now nice changes working great.

Mike Rochip Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I read somewhere that RC means its very close to a final release and minimal changes if any are predicted to be implemented. In real life it sounds to me that means it is still a Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS3 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 if it comes out with an RC1 it will probably come out with an RC2 and so forth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 RC is release candidate. RC is usually more stable than beta version. Between RC and final version, there are usually no new features, only bugfixes. The last RC sometimes is the same as the final version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
