===== Release notes =====

This version of Rudder is in release candidate status. This version was
focused on stabilization and system integration to be highly reliable.
While we have tested it thoroughly and believe it to be free of any
major bugs, use on mission-critical systems is not encouraged at this
time and is at your own risk. We are however running it on several
production systems with success.

We are impatient to hear your feedback, be it comments on this blog,
questions on Twitter, bug reports or feature requests or even GitHub
pull requests!
