> Yes, it is true. The first release candidate is out! Go, grab, test,

> I'd like to hand my special thanks to Keith Smith, with him we were
> able to wrangle through the docs issue queue and fix and string freeze
> issues we identified all day yesterday. Even run a final spell check
> round to make sure everything is top-notch. This release becomes the
> most spell checked and the most updated with help text ever in my
> humble opinion. Note for the D7 maintainers: coordinate with feature
> patches to get them documented right there, not right before RC1 :)

> holidays and all free time filled with Drupal 6 work, so foreign
> language users can enjoy Drupal 6 localized right when it is released.

> bugs, as it happened to us multiple times. So let's concentrate on the
> critical bugs, and accept the fact that there will be a release after
> Drupal 6, which will welcome your improvements.
