We are calling this a Release Candidate because all the features are done and most of the code has had quite a lot of testing, both from a code point of view and a functional point of view (See [http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLQA-150 the results of our first QA Test Cycle]).
 
However, we are still:
* testing the code with more data and more users,
* polishing small bugs in the interface and elsewhere, and
* working on documentation, translations etc.
 
At this point we don't recommend Moodle 2.0 for large production sites unless you have very experienced Moodle administrators.
 
For minimal issues, wait until the official Moodle 2.0 release in about a month.
 
 
==How to get it==
 
# Download it from the [http://download.moodle.org/download.php/moodle/moodle-latest.zip Moodle download server] (built nightly) or
# Get the latest HEAD version from [[CVS_for_Administrators|CVS]], or
# Try it out on [http://qa.moodle.net qa.moodle.net]  (updated daily and reset hourly)
 
 
 
==Upgrading from a previous Moodle 2.0 preview==
 
If you are upgrading from a version of 2.0 in the past few months then we highly recommend dropping the tables and '''REINSTALLING YOUR TEST SITE FROM SCRATCH''' (by upgrading again from 1.9, or starting fresh with a new database).  If you don't do this your configuration will vary in a few small ways (and this may depend on the last version you had).
 
From now on, though, you can rely on the upgrade path from day to day.
