The second release candidate (RC2) for WordPress 6.1 is now available!
“Release Candidate” means that this version of WordPress is ready for release and it is a key milestone in the 6.1 release cycle! Before the official release date, the community sets aside time to perform final reviews and help test. Since the WordPress ecosystem includes thousands of plugins and themes, it is important that everyone checks to see if anything has been missed along the way. That means the project would greatly benefit from your assistance.
WordPress 6.1 is planned for official release on November 1st, 2022, two weeks from today.
