Versions and release candidates
Kevin Dangoor wonders what is a “release candidate”?
Quoth Kevin:
I do have a bit of a pet peeve with the way a number of projects use the term “release candidate” (often appearing as “rc” in version numbers).
…
Monkey with “alpha”, “beta” and “gamma” releases all you want, but at least recognize “rc” for what it is because it’s just plain English.
Heh. If you are involved in public software releases, read the whole thing.
