The second release candidate for the next version of WordPress 3.2 is here. If you haven’t started testing 3.2, now is the time. Previous experience would make this the final RC before the real deal.
Should I update to this release candidate?
As this is a release candidate you shouldn’t use this on a really important live site - but it does mean it’s pretty stable and useful. You should find that most popular plugins and themes have no issues as developers have been working since RC1.
WordPress 3.2 what you can expect
WordPress 3.2 has already had 2 beta releases - so this RC is getting close to the finished product. The key features you can find in the next release are:
Improved look n feel / user experience to the Admin pages (finally)
Integrated the admin homepage header (with the WordPress Logo) with the left hand menu
Admin bar has changed for single install and network admins
Admin left hand menu has changed with big text to collapse / hide
The 3.2RC release note talks about 350+ bugs / tracs closed
