CVS RC-2? What's that?

[The Red Guy]

What is the difference between a PHPBB 2 CVS version and a RC-2?

[ashben]

RC (or Release Candidate) is a near-final (post alpha/beta) version of an application while CVS (Concurrent Version System) is basically a currently under-development version.

RC's are generally released for the testing community whilc CVS is generally for the design & developers community.

From a "production use" point of view, both RC and CVS are considered instable and should only be used on development environments.

That may be true, but if they happen to come across any major problems, they have to expect to just deal with it; (No matter how stable), they are still developmental releases.

RC or CVS Norm:

There is no warranty or claim of fitness or reliability.
The program is distributed "AS IS", and the author shall NOT
be held liable for any loss of data, down time, loss of
revenue or any other direct or indirect damage or claims
caused by this software.

A lot of people still use such applications and technically that's what makes the application robust through extensive testing and a wider implementation.

Thanks people...I guess PHPBB 2 is stable enough already.
