My understanding is that the unfiled(?) strtoll bug affects only a
subset of platforms. RC1 can exclude those platforms from the supported
list.
However, if we indeed are going to have a fix this weekend and can agree
to move forward to RC1 right after that (if there are no other
showstoppers), I can live with that. There are probably some things that
we need to do in preparation for an RC snapshot anyway.
The primary idea behind RC1 is to bring in users who are ignoring PRE
releases because there were so many PREs. We need more testers than a
handful of folks running PREs on busy sites.
I agree with your primary idea about RC1, but this will be a "Release
Candidate".
So for me this mean that quality of the code should be very near to
the release quality.
As I know, there is only Microsoft that calls RC the beta releases of
its code .... :-)
I propose to set as planned date for RC1 Wed 23/08.
Regards
Guido
