Put this on your calendar: the tentative release date of the first Release Candidate (RC) of Blender 2.80 is July 11!
请记到你的日历上：Blender 2.80 的第一个RC版本暂定于7月11日发布！
Development 【开发】
- We will aim for a 2.80 release candidate around July 11, 3 weeks from now. After the release candidate only important bug fixes would go in, with every commit carefully checked. This will also give us the opportunity to test making the release build with all platform maintainers.
我们准备在7月11日左右发布2.80的RC版本，现在离目标还有3周时间。之后我们会专心修复那些重要的BUG，会小心地检查每一次的提交。我们会借此机会同各个平台的维护者们一起测试发布版本的构建。 - Much of the Blender manual was updated last week, but still about another week of work remains. For anyone interested in helping out, there are still a few chapters without anyone assigned, and many of chapters where screenshots need to be updated. (organization task)
上周，我们对Blender的使用手册做了大量的更新，但是依然有很多工作需要几周时间来完成。同时，还有一些章节的编写更新工作至今还没有人接手，另外还有很多章节的截图也需要更新，因此我们欢迎更多对此有兴趣的朋友过来帮忙。
