Here's Release Candidate 2. It's a bit of a misnomer, since there are a couple of issues that still must be fixed, but it's really solid in regular use, despite the extensive number of changes. Note that it's still a release candidate -- it's near-ready, but the volume of changes in this build makes it advisable to take precautions and backup your data/files to protect against data loss during installation or usage.

Please keep the feedback coming, but keep in mind that our focus at this point is only on critical bugs.
