Ho ho holy crap, even on x-mas eve. That's right, it's 0.7.0 RC #3, and now everyone has a little something under their tree.
Now, if anyone asks, I took the time again to remind you that this isn't an official stable release, that there might be bugs, that you should proceed with caution, yada, yada, yada. Just in case they ask... That being said, we are getting quite close now, this could (cross your fingers) be the final candidate. You should still exercise caution upgrading anything that matters, but now is the time to test. Please. As usual, be sure to read through the changes[1] and release notes[2]. Report any problems you find[3], and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!
