In case you are not familiar with the term, here is the definition from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycleRelease candidate
The term *release candidate* (*RC*) refers to a version with potential to be a final product, ready to release unless fatal bugs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_bug> emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bug. Apple Inc. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.> uses the term "golden master <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_master>" for its release candidates, and the final golden master is used as the general availability release. Other Greek letters, such as *gamma* and *delta*, are sometimes used to indicate versions that are substantially complete, but still undergoing testing, with *omega* or *zenith* used to indicate final testing versions that are believed to be relatively bug-free, ready for production. A release is called *code complete* when the development team agrees that no entirely new source code will be added to this release. There may still be source code changes to fix defects. There may still be changes to documentation and data files, and to the code for test cases or utilities. New code may be added in a future release.
