And that means… well, what does it mean?įirst off, it means that the next week or two of testing are crucial - we are nearly at the end of the PTR for patch 8.2, and if no significant bugs or issues are discovered, there will be no reason for patch 8.2 to be held back. So with the version of 8.2 on the PTR being a release candidate, it means that they’ve moved to the stage where they’re considering putting this version out, as long as it doesn’t crash like crazy or have any game breaking issues that would make that impossible. It is a candidate for release - if testing of this build reveals no major problems, the final release version may be very similar to or the same as this version being tested. Well, it means more or less what it sounds like - a release candidate in software development terms is a version that is considered ready to release in the absence of any specific bugs or issues that would force it to be held back. If you’re like me, you may have wondered what that means.
The folks at Wowhead have noted that the most recent PTR for patch 8.2 is listed as a release candidate. Something sinister stirs beneath the waves - Rise of Azshara arrives June 25! /PDT1YXWAEH Update: Patch 8.2 now has an official release date! Look for it next week, on June 25.
