Why another release candidate?
Actually it was planned to release the final version today. But because of a bug in the Windows 7 firewall (causing frequent connection losses when using secure FTP), a lot of code in the built-in FTP client had to be changed. Therefore another test version has become necessary.
Please submit a bug report immediately if you have problems with FTP which you didn't have with older versions!
A list of additions and corrections, also for previous versions, can be found here.

As usual, the update is free for all registered users.
