The issue at hand is one of confusion.   You have core team members saying it was the release in responses to threads (linked below).    Someone came out and simply asked the question.  The response should have come from the top.

BOSTON, Massachusetts (June 13, 2006)   DotNetNuke® ( http://www.dotnetnuke.com ) today strengthened its leadership position in the Microsoft enterprise market with the general release of a significantly enhanced version of its open source web application framework for ASP.NET. Based on scalable and robust Microsoft .NET technologies, DotNetNuke® 3.3/4.3 offers a mature web application framework that helps increase everyday organizational efficiency, with added capabilities including a fully extensible Profile management system, an overhauled Membership and Roles system, improved Document Management capabilities, and extensive Content Management productivity enhancements.

When it was first available it did not say RC:

It is not worth arguing about and this will be my last post, the user who posted the question got the answer he needed to make an informed decision. 

Brian, I do think it is hilarious that both links you gave to prove your point prove my point (especially the post done by Shaun).  The main title of his post was:

DotNetNuke® 3.3/4.3 Release Candidate Available for Free Download

How much more clearer can that be.

Hi there  

Brian, in his comments, has said "I have always said DotNetNuke was for developers only".

This feels increasingly true.  The good people on the Forums project have decided that the documentation is so out of date they just wont make it available anymore.  I have been posting and re-posting on the Forums Forum for eight days and still there is no documentation available.  Perhaps someone here will take pity and tell me where I can find it.  Meanwhile you can, of course, download the source and the install code.  But sometimes even developers like to see documentation., however out of date it is probably better than nothing.

Hmm

I believe that Cris has said to you in the Forum projects forum that it is not that he decided to remove the documents, but that he cannot make it available himself and has to wait on someone else.

Due to some dogfooding on the dotnetnuke.com website there are some problems with the projects pages.
One of them is that not everyone can see the items that are in the "other project files".

I think it is because of the changed file security in the documents module (which is the module that is being used for that).
I can see the documents fine, but others can not.


I guess that is the risk we are taking to install a RELEASE CANDIDATE on a production site.
But we have decided we are willing to take that risk (and so should everyone decide for themselves if they are willing to install a new download (be it a Beta, R.C. or a final release) on their own live websites).YOU are responsible for the software you install.

I think DNN team simply making wrong steps.
Most of the DNN community doesn't see DNN as an open source
software to recode and extend.
No one like to dig in huge code, search for bugs and recompile.

We like to see DNN as an out of the box product, ready to use,
and if we need more functionality we plug the funcitionality
to the system (modules).
I don't mind to write modules.
I hate to look in the source code for bugs.
I believe many of the DNN community feels like me.

So what's my point?
I'm sory but it seems like DNN stuff focus too much on features and
rush to release than stability and testing.
I face many stability issues with DNN, especially since version 4.
All the "reference not set to an instance of an object..." error messages
and others frighten developers from choosing DNN as solution
for big projects.

As far as i understand, the community want stable framework to use it out the box.
The DNN team is pushing to the other side.
This is a pity since DNN will stay as nice theoretic system for small web site
when the potential is much bigger.
