We are happy to announce a new Release Candidate in the Scala 2.9.x series: 2.9.2 RC1. This release includes many bugfixes, as well as backported documentation and scaladoc improvements from the community. Please point your build tools at 2.9.2-RC1!

This RC1 release candidate is made available for testing purposes only and is not intended for production environments: a final 2.9.2 release will follow at the end of the RC cycle. Please help us with the testing of this candidate, and let us know of any issues that you may encounter.
