I actually KNOW I have asked it at least TWICE before, and that the
question have never been answered. Or that it was answered once, in a
"I kinda think so, but not sure"-style. Thus, I ask again, for the
people in the know to actually check it out - it can't be that
difficult to do once you have the build in some IDE, and know the
layout of the stuff. Maybe check the few commits that was done in the
two years prior to the flurry of commits that just was done..

Nice! I must have missed the post.

Not much, really - maybe drop the "RC1" part? What's the point of it,
when there is NO activity left in the project? Just to make people
uncertain about the quality of the build? - because that is an obvious
result of that name.

Thanks,
