[Xoops-announcement] XOOPS 2.5.9 RELEASE CANDIDATE 2 AVAILABLE

[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]

The XOOPS Development Team is pleased to announce the availability of
Release Candidate 2 of XOOPS 2.5.9. 

This version includes fixes and enhancements, security updates, and PHP 7.1
compatibility.

See the change log
<https://github.com/XOOPS/XoopsCore25/blob/master/docs/changelog.250.txt>
for more details.

Remember, this is a release candidate intended for testing only. Use in a
production system is not without risks.

XOOPS 2.5.9 RC2 fixes several issues uncovered during the testing period for
RC1. XOOPS 2.5.9 is currently feature frozen. With a release candidate
status, only bug fixes will be considered, and enhancement requests will be
accepted, but not acted on at this point. If we have no release blocking
bugs reported on RC2, it will become the production ready release.

In the spirit of full disclosure and our "eating our own dogfood attitude,"
we should mention that the  <https://xoops.org/> xoops.org site is currently
running the RC2 code under PHP 7.1, and fully SSL.

Please download from the
<https://github.com/XOOPS/XoopsCore25/releases/tag/v2.5.9-RC2> RC2 archive
from GitHub!

Please report your findings, good and bad -- it will help a lot!

Thank you
