RC release template
There should be at least one RC version between RC1 and stable release. If there are any important changes merged into stable branch (like bug/security fixes) the RC should be prepared and deployed as soon as possible. For a less important changes (documentation, simple fixes of typos etc.) the RC can wait a little.
When deciding to release a new RC version, please update the checklist using the following template:
