Hi everyone,

Rails 3.0.10.rc1 has been released. As usual, please try out this release candidate and report any issues to the ruby on rails core mailing list. If no issues are found, we’ll release 3.0.10 on August 8th (around 5pm PDT).

If you do find issues, please send them to the rails core mailing list. If the release candidate is found to not be backwards compatible with the previous release, we’ll do another release candidate and postpone the final release date.

Remember that this is your chance to veto / postpone the rails release. Please take this opportunity to test!
