Re: First Perl 5.12 Release Candidate released

The first release candidate of Perl 5.12 has been released

<flippancy>Just as $array[1] is the second element of an array, isn't perl-5.12.0-RC1 actually the *second* release candidate ? </flippancy>

Cheers,
Rob

RC0 was not considered a release candidate by the release manager. It was more of a release candidate of a release candidate. That's why it was not announced, and that's why it's the first time RC0 was used. (Well, first time that I know of. There was no RC0 for 5.8.9 or 5.10.1.) If you prefer, RC1 is the first public release candidate.	[reply]
