+What is release candidate 1?
+
+    We believe that release candidate 1 will fix all known bugs that
+    we intend to fix for the 2.0 final release.  This release should
+    be a bit more stable than the previous betas.  We would like to
+    see even more widespread testing before the final release, so we
+    are producing this release candidate.  The final release will be
+    exactly the same unless any show-stopping (or brown bag) bugs are
+    found by testers of the release candidate.
