Yeah we probably should have called them betas, but I'm fine with using RC—beta sounds way less serious and we want folks to just go to town on this. It's helped a lot.

And glad to hear you're a fan! <3

I agree with the parent. The term "Release Candidate" comes with certain expectations, including but not limited to: feature freeze, API freeze, and few(er) serious bugs. Calling Bootstrap 3 in its current state an RC is misleading to developers and may adversely impact the project's reputation.

With that said, I've been using the 2.x releases on multiple projects over the past year. Thanks for all of your hard work!

The rapid rate of change has definitely made getting Jetstrap to support the latest releases harder, but in general it's been a huge pleasure to use and MUCH easier to extend and customize. Great work! :)

I've been using the WIP for a few months and the changes in RC2 are looking really great. I am curious as to what the ramifications will be on the learning curve of people really making the most of the new grid system and how it can be way more dynamic by calling different columns at different snap points. I didn't really "get it" right away, but after figuring it out I can see how it's a huge step forward.

I've been upgrading one of my apps to RC1 the past 3 days. I think it's great! Lot more easier to get it responsive. I was always having troubles with nested columns on the previous version. Things seem to work a lot more better now! Was about to tackle an issue about getting column structure to remain same on phone devices but looks like RC2 takes care of that with .col-xs !
