I’m going to do a new install of WordPress. new 3.0 version is coming. current stable version is “WordPress 2.9.2” and “WordPress 3.0 Release Candidate” the last release before final version 3.
So for now i should setup 2.9.2 or 3.0 Release Candidate?
will i have to replace all files to RC upon final release?
What are cons to use Release Candidate version?
As we have reached RC2 and there are usually only two release candidates, you could wait for the final version to come out within the next week (or at max 2).
But also installing the RC2 is OK, I am using WordPress since Version 2.7.1 and there was never a issue updating it to the newest version. Just backup your database in case anything goes wrong. But usually nothing goes really wrong. Just run the automatically update and you should be fine.
