This release candidate (RC) version of Pligg is designed as a test version of Pligg. We require users to help us find any final bugs that we may have missed, whether caused by unexpected server settings or us just not checking things carefully enough.

We recommend that you do not use this version in a production environment unless you are willing to experience the occasional bug and want to manually update your site until we release a final version of 1.0.

This is the final Release Candidate version of Pligg before a Final 1.0 version. This version has a lot of fixes from previous RC versions and you shouldn't see many new features or bug fixes between this release and the final release.

---------------------------------------------------------------
What's New
---------------------------------------------------------------

Below is a list of some of the more popular changes included with this release. You can expect new features and bug fixes from the previous Beta release.

- New category admin panel
- Upload module now stable
- Fixes for UTF-8 characters, which means more support for
foreign languages.

For a complete changelog we suggest checking our SVN logs or reading the Pligg Twitter page.
You can also follow the bugs here.

Installation and Upgrade
---------------------------------------------------------------

Please see the readme.html file included with the release for the most up to date and detailed instructions for installing and upgrading Pligg.
Upgrades are still not 100% worked out for those wanting to jump from the Beta series to the 1.0 series. The upgrade process should work fine, but we haven't yet made some changes to the database to re-organize the configuration settings (see: Admin Settings Buggy after upgrade from 9.9.5 to 1.0 | Pligg CMS Projects).
