Downloaded, unzipped, and ran the convenience binary. Everything works, installed nb-javac, tried out some of the new 'var' hint refactorings.
Only thing I've seen we need to do is change the splash screen but that shouldn't block the rc1 release AFAIK. As with the other releases we've done so far, the main point of our releases is to ensure that we pass the Apache requirements, i.e., the IPMC vote will be interesting -- to see if there are still license problems, binary problems, or whatever, everything identified so far has been fixed and the main thing is to see whether the IPMC agrees. Many thanks Emilian for putting this release together, great to spread the release management knowledge. +1 for releasing rc1.
