Hey everyone,
we are moving on with v5 preparations and today it’s time for Kirby 5.0.0-rc.2: https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/5.0.0-rc.2
Last week, a few regressions popped up that we were able to fix quickly. We also continued our work on plugin compatibility and the list of compatible plugins is growing nicely 
About the RCs
We are planning to release a new RC every week until the final release in June.
We’ve been asked, what kind of changes to expect from those release candidates. As you can see in the release notes, it’s now all about bug fixing and last minute fine tuning.
We rely on your input from your real-world tests and we also try to find more issues in our own tests while working on plugins and our own sites. The more we find during the RC phase, the more stable the final release will be.
Every RC will also get updated translations. You can help us get your own language up to date on Transifex: https://translation.getkirby.com/
The listed enhancements are only minor things that we’ve missed so far. For example, some plugins really need to “know” when a page is rendered in the new preview iframe. That’s something that we simply didn’t think of. Now, the preview iframes add a _preview query parameter to handle that case. We are not going to add more features at this point.
