What&#8217;s an RC? An RC comes after beta and before the final launch. It means we think we&#8217;ve got everything done: all features finished, all bugs squashed, and all potential issues addressed. But, then, with over 20 million people using WordPress with a wide variety of configurations and hosting setups, it&#8217;s entirely possible that we&#8217;ve missed something. So! For the brave of heart, please download the RC and test it out (but not on your live site unless you&#8217;re extra adventurous). Some things to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Custom menus are finished! Yay!<\/li>\n<li>Multi-site is all set.<\/li>\n<li>The look of the WordPress admin has been lightened up a little bit, so you can focus more on your content.<\/li>\n<li>There are a ton of changes, so plugin authors, please test your plugins <strong>now<\/strong>, so that if there is a compatibility issue, we can figure it out before the final release.<\/li>\n<li>Plugin and theme *users* are also encouraged to test things out. If you find problems, let your plugin\/theme authors know so they can figure out the cause.<\/li>\n<li>There are a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/report\/5\">known issues<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are testing the RC and come across a bug, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Report it on the <a href=\"http:\/\/lists.automattic.com\/mailman\/listinfo\/wp-testers\">wp-testers mailing list<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Join the dev chat and tell us live at irc.freenode.net #wordpress-dev<\/li>\n<li>File a bug ticket on the <a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/query?status=reopened&amp;status=assigned&amp;status=reviewing&amp;status=new&amp;status=accepted&amp;group=status&amp;milestone=3.0\">WordPress Trac <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope you enjoy playing with the 3.0 RC as much as we&#8217;ve enjoyed making it for you.
