The openSUSE Project is happy to announce that openSUSE 11.1 RC 1 is now available. If all goes well, this will be the last testing release before the final 11.1 public release on December 18th. 

This release includes a number of bugfixes and changes since 11.1 beta 5, as well as a new license. [1]

Call for Testing
================
 
We all want openSUSE 11.1 to be the best release yet, and we need your help to get there. This release is ready for widespread testing, and we're encouraging everyone to download and test the beta releases. Please run the release through your usual routine, and let us know about any bugs or other issues that you find. 

Remember that this is a beta release, and is not suitable for use on production systems, however. Though many openSUSE users can and do use the Factory distribution and/or beta release for day-to-day work we want to stress that it's entirely possible that you will encounter serious bugs.

Greetings, openSUSE fans! We have another development release ready for your testing pleasure. openSUSE 11.1 beta 5 is now available for immediate download and testing. 

You may have noticed that we were scheduled to release RC 1 today. However, as Stephan Kulow mentioned on openSUSE-Factory list [1] on Tuesday, we have several blocker bugs and 11 P1 bugs still present. While we're ready to do another release today, we decided that it wasn't ready to be called a release candidate. This shouldn't push back the final release, but it will mean that we will only plan to have one public release candidate.

With just a little more than a month [2] before the public release on December 18th, there's still plenty to do. So, roll up your sleeves and start downloading!
