David Perfors:
Yes, just keep on working and when 1.0 Final is released use that as the stable/bugfix branche.

PsYhLo:
I'm using SVN builds for two months. So i can wait for RC3 or Final release
But it will be good to put some substitute for that RC2 may be one of the latest nightly builts
because new comers are using that release befor finding out that it has other build greater than that one.
I hope i'm not right but some of that users may be we have lose

Well, the name "Release Candidate" would imply that no new features are added, so I think it'd be better to branch right after the RC3-Release (of course that's just my humble opinion, I'm not even a CB-developer).

It has nothing to do with the worldcup final.
N.B.: Even though I live in one of the cities where the world cup takes place, I could not even tell you who is playing! I happen to know that Germany will be in the next round because it was in the news last night, but that's about it ;)

RC3 will be released when it is ready, and that will be when a couple of important issues have been resolved.
Apart from several things that are just unpleasant (and should not go into a RC as known bugs), the two most important open problems are scripting and updating.

1. AngelScript, which we currently use, is a mighty fine thing, but it does not work on the majority of platforms that are otherwise supported by Code::Blocks. This is a very serious limitation.
Yiannis has done a lot of work to make AngelScript 64bit-compatible, but some of the low level internals are beyond his scope, these will have to be fixed by Andreas Jönsson. If and when this will happen is yet unknown to us, we have contacted Andreas about it. If nothing helps, we may have to switch to another script engine.
Obviously, we are not releasing RC3 now only to make another massive change like that a week later, this would be most unwise.

2. Internet updates are currently at a stage which is 90% functional on the client side, minimum functional on the server side, and which has 0% test coverage.
We absolutely want to include the ability to perform updates over the internet, as this will simplify a lot of things, and resolve many problems in the future.
As this is a quite important functionality, we want to be sure it really works reliably.
