Caschy is correct - it's a release candidate-candidate. The Windows builds haven't been digitally signed, for example.

However, this means it's likely that the actual first release candidate is imminent. Download Squad has just jumped the gun a little.

I'm pretty sure this IS the first release candidate, even if it isn't 'signed'.

Usually release candidates are renamed versions of the trunk -- say, 3.6.5 -- it then magically becomes 3.6 RC1. If this candidate is found to be buggy, the next one will be RC2, and so on.

I've never heard of a 'release candidate candidate' -- every minor patch is a possible candidate candidate, no?
