Just the release candidate; I don't have the courage to push a final release with _no_ release candidates, and we haven't had any for 1.24. That said, if RC1 is well received and raises no issues demanding a code change, I see no reason not to go to final release after that. (That's kind of my definition of a "release candidate"--if it builds and runs and no defects arise warranting code changes, it's a successful "candidate".) What I took away from the 1.22.4 and 1.23.0 release cycles shows was that 2 weeks is about as long as we need for RC feedback. I remember being frustrated that holding the RC window open for a third week didn't seem to accomplish much. It's my first time doing this officially for groff, of course. I'm open to feedback or suggestions about release management. Regards, Branden
