What Should I Do to Test the RC Version?
You have two options:
- You can just download and install it on a clean installation of Joomla (or on the site where you want to test it and you feel secure that something can go wrong there [it’s not a stable version])
- You can do the regular update on your current Joomla installation. Remember that this is an RC version, it’s not yet ready for live sites. So if your site is a production website built on Joomla the good way would be to make a copy of the site and install it in a different location to test all the new features and if the update in your case goes smoothly.
