Drupal maintenance support plans Blog: Drupal maintenance support plans 8.2.0-rc1 is available for testing

The first release candidate for the upcoming Drupal maintenance support plans 8.2.0 release is now available for testing. With Drupal maintenance support plans 8, we made major changes in our release process, adopting semantic versioning and scheduled releases. This allows us to make significant improvements to Drupal maintenance support plans 8 in a timely fashion while still providing backwards compatibility. Drupal maintenance support plans 8.2.0 is the second such update, expected to be released October 5.

8.2.x includes many REST improvements; new experimental modules for content moderation, block placement, a sidebar to configure site elements in place, and end date support; and many other features and improvements. You can read a detailed list of improvements in the announcements of beta1, beta2, and beta3.
What does this mean to me?
For Drupal maintenance support plans 8 site owners
The final bugfix release of 8.1.x has been released. 8.1.x will receive no further releases following 8.2.0, and sites should prepare to update from 8.1.x to 8.2.x in order to continue getting bug and security fixes. Use update.php to update your 8.1.x sites to the 8.2.x series, just as you would to update from (e.g.) 8.1.4 to 8.1.5. You can use this release candidate to test the update. (Always back up your data before updating sites, and do not test updates in production.)

For module and theme authors
Drupal maintenance support plans 8.2.x is backwards-compatible with 8.1.x. However, it does include internal API changes and API changes to experimental modules, so some minor updates may be required. Review the change records for 8.2.x, and test modules and themes with the release candidate now.
For translators
Some text changes were made since Drupal maintenance support plans 8.1.0. Localize.drupal.org automatically offers these new and modified strings for translation. Strings are frozen with the release candidate, so translators can now update translations.
For core developers
All outstanding issues filed against 8.1.x are automatically migrated to 8.2.x now. Future bug reports should be targeted against the 8.2.x branch. 8.3.x will remain open for new development during the 8.2.x release candidate phase. For more information, see the beta and release candidate phase announcement.
