Standard warning

Do not use beta software on production sites there will be bugs which is the whole point of a beta Also note some modules will not be compatible with the new release so you may wish to check your modules are being updated in their relevant projects pages.

Big thanks to the Drupal Dev Team who we don’t say it enough but they do rock!
