#2. Release info

Last time we faced with the lack of Cotonti core developers and testers, so it tooks one and a half year to release a new version of Cotonti.

We start use a new release scheme with intermediate pre-releases. And first Release Candidate for current version was published this spring. Brief info for changes since RC1 can be found here.
