I want to reinforce the message and encourage everyone, not only committers and PMC members, to test and vote on the release candidate. I can't stress enough how important it is for the quality of the release that multiple folks test with their systems to make sure that the RC is good.
If you don't know how to start, here are a few hints: - Download the sources and build it - Try to use it with whatever application you care about - Check licenses and headers (the RAT tool is ideal for that) - Check digests and signature - Check miscellaneous things like README Please take some time to have a look, test it, and vote.
