Does anyone here know when OpenLayers 2.12 is likely to become a Stable release rather than a release candidate, it contains so many handy performance and user interface improvements that I really want to get it into our application but me and my colleagues are (only slightly) hesistant about using a release candidate and would rather use a stable release.

If its going to be ages or unknown then I'll probably just use the release candidate I am using for developement (I think its rc-8) as it seems perfectly stable, just wondered if the community had any idea!

Thanks!

@RagiYaserBurhum I thought the same to be honest, but others were a bit hesistant, and since we are in a Local Governement environment we'll likely get our heads bitten off if it fails! – Rob Quincey Jun 26 '12 at 8:23
@DMan Nice spot, I'd been following the OpenLayers project on GitHub but didn't realise they had trac as well, that'll be handy! Cheers! – Rob Quincey Jun 26 '12 at 8:24

Btw, I'm just a (very) active user and monitor the timeline (trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/timeline) for updates frequently. I'm not associated with the core OL team. – Vadim Jun 27 '12 at 21:55
Nice spot, I'll be bookmarking that for the future. Cheers! – Rob Quincey Jun 28 '12 at 8:25
