  Release Candidate? What the ...?!

I've just stumbled upon the title "release candidate" for
the new beta.

If this is just something like "Look guys, we're beginning
to wrap it all up, but expect at least 9 more candidates..."
then its all fine with me.

If this is like "About 2 more trial versions, and that's what ya
get...",
then I'm getting a little frustrated.

Using my Particle-System and using my mesh-macros
I've stumbled upon a problem with transparent/filtering
textures, in such a way, that a transparent object is
simply averaged with the background, or simply
vanishes.

I've got two responses to that from the community, one
from Peter Popov who actually checked the example I
submitted to the beta-binaries and confirmed the bug,

problem might have to do with degenerate triangles, though
that doesn't seem to be the case (since it happens with
blobs and other POV-primitives).

I'm not pointing at the POV-Team like "It's all your fault!", I'm
just expressing my frustration which this "release candidate" has
awakened in me. Anyone care to explain what it actually is
meant to mean?
