This has just been posted to the carbide.c++ beta group:

Dear Beta User,
We are one big step closer to the final release of Carbide.c++. Our last major milestone of our project has arrived.

We now have Release Candidate 2 (RC2) ready for download. This will be the last major build that users will see until the production release. We will continue to post developer (daily) builds.

We have also reached Code Freeze – meaning we’ve started our “final validation” phase.

Please continue to post bugs on our Bugzilla tracking tool and feel free to post your general comments in the Google discussion area.

Thank you so much for your support – we are weeks away from shipping.

Regards,

/Mike

As always, please visit the beta group to find the download link!
