RC3 or Beta3 ?
Hello. The Home page suggests (on top-right) to install the "Beta3 May 16", but on Milestones I see available the "RC3 May 26".
For a newcomer should I go with RC3 ? Thank you |

Hi. I would recommend to you to stick with what is the current default download (1.0Beta3). Official betas also tend to provide you with a smoother upgrade path to future releases.

What Robert says is correct, but for folks that like to live on the
edge, note that since we are in the release-candidate phase, no schema changes are permitted, so upgrading from RC3 to the final release candidate will only require installing the new bits, shutting down the RC3 server, and the firing up the final release candidate server.

Thank you Robert. I will do that so.
Btw, I see RC4 now ... man, that is fast ! To my learning: Why to have a mix of Betas and Release Candidates ? (is not a Release Candidate name something stronger than a Beta version ?) |

Thank you also Geoff,
Ops, for this kind of tests I don't mind to live on the edge. But you said something strong: "from RC3 to the final release candidate will only require installing the new bits, shutting down the RC3 server, and the firing up the final release candidate server.". I liked that and I was just thinking about that as I saw RC4. (btw, I just downloaded almost 400MB for Beta3, them 400MB for RC3 ... should I download more 400MB for RC4 ? not that is a problem, but ... I liked the idea of the "new bits" (or delta-bits). Why not such delta between RC3 and RC4 ? (Is RC4 the final RC?) I'm little confuse now: Beta3 or RC4 ? Thank you Marcio |

There will be an RC5 (June 6).
The Team Concert schedule is posted to jazz.net (of course :-). See <https>. The changes from RC3 to RC4 and RC4 to RC5 will be very minimal (message improvements, uniform copyrights, late-breaking bug-fixes), so there's no need to upgrade unless you enjoy being on the "latest". So the recommendation from Robert is the simplest ... wait to upgrade until a new release is the "recommended" release at jazz.net. Cheers, Geoff MarcioAB wrote: Thank you also Geoff, |
I'm not seeing RC4 available for download. Can someone kindly provide a URL?
Cheers, Bryan |
