There has been significant progress towards releasing 0.5 since last week's meeting. All the remaining open issues for the Multi-User project were closed, the first [Release Candidate](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/releases/tag/0.5.0-rc1?ref=ghost.org) was cut, and \~50 bugs were raised against it. Those bugs have all been triaged and assigned to either be closed before this release or punted to a later release. Already \~40 bugs have been fixed, we're back down to just a handful of bugs, and RC2 is expected to be cut shortly\*.

From here, we'll run through testing again with RC2, find and fix any further bugs and hopefully deliver a final Release Candidate on Friday.

The official public release of Ghost 0.5 is scheduled to happen on [Monday 11th August](https://everytimezone.com/?ref=ghost.org#2014-8-11).

IT'S LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY FOLKS!

Between now and the release, we're hoping for lots more testing, particularly around the upgrade process. Test-only PRs are very, very welcome, as there's quite a lot of low coverage throughout the app. Additionally, we'd love suggestions on how to improve the upgrade and install documentation to make Monday's release as smooth as possible.

\* **Update**: [Release Candidate 2](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/releases/tag/0.5.0-rc2?ref=ghost.org) has been published

### Full details:

The full logs of the meeting [are available](https://107.20.237.151:8081/logs/%23ghost/20140805?ref=ghost.org#pm44444) from Slimer, our IRC bot (who is also on [GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Slimer?ref=ghost.org) by the way!).

### What is this?

We hold a public development meeting pretty much every Tuesday at 5:30pm London time in the #ghost channel on freenode. In this meeting we discuss progress, important issues, and what is and isn't on [the Roadmap](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/wiki/Roadmap?ref=ghost.org). It's a chance for everyone to get involved and have their say about where Ghost goes next.

Hope to see you at next week's meeting: [Tuesday 12th August, 5:30pm London time](https://everytimezone.com/?ref=ghost.org#2014-8-12,270,6bj).
