[ANN] Release of Bugzilla 3.0rc1

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

  Today we are releasing our first Release Candidate for Bugzilla 3.0!

  Release Candidates are more stable than development releases,
having had full QA testing. However, they are not fully stable
releases, since they haven't had as much real-world testing as
stable releases.

  Depending on your feedback on this release, we should release
Bugzilla 3.0 by early April. We encourage all Bugzilla administrators
to test out 3.0rc1 and report any bugs that you find!

  You can see a list of all the new features in Bugzilla 3.0 here:

About Bugzilla
--------------
Bugzilla is a "Defect Tracking System" or "Bug-Tracking System."
Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers
to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively.
Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous
licensing fees. Despite being "free", Bugzilla has many features
its expensive counterparts lack. Consequently, Bugzilla has quickly
become a favorite of hundreds of organizations across the globe, and
is widely regarded as one of the top defect-tracking systems available.

See http://www.bugzilla.org/about/ for more details.
