I've got two remarks so far:
a) This release candidate is dependent on the non-yet released
rave-master-0.10, which I don't like much.
IMO it would have been better to wait another day until the rave-master was
formally released. Although the rave-master release most certainly will
commence, in theory if we find a last minute blocker issue with it causing its
release to be failed, it would cause *this* release candidate then to fail
automatically as well...
b) Issue RAVE-553 just reported by Jasha and also confirmed by myself makes the
release useless for all practical use-cases and most certainly should have been
easily tested/found before the release. We should look into improving our
quality assurance and add some minimal but sensible (interaction) testing plan
which should pass before we cut a release candidate because this is quite annoying.
For b) I'm inclined to vote -1 or at least -0. As I haven't had time to further
review I'll postpone casting my vote for now but it doesn't look rosy to me.

Some of the things to check before voting are:
- can you run the demo binaries
- can you build the contents of source-release.zip and svn tag
- do all of the staged jars/zips contain the required LICENSE, NOTICE and
DISCLAIMER files
- are all of the staged jars signed and the signature verifiable
- is the signing key in the project's KEYS file and on a public server
