Hi, this is a heads-up pre-release that should let the distro people test the reworked build system, switched to autoconf.
However there were some problems [1] found so we have to fix them first and rc2 should be ready for wider testing in distros. The other changes are non-intrusive so it's basically 3.18.2 and should be safe as a replacement for general use.
