We are excited to announce that three key modules, Views, CCK, and Organic Groups, have published release candidates today, ready for testing. If you are interested in speeding the transition to a full release, install and test the Release Candidates (RC). Many months of work have gone into extensive rewrites of these modules, leading to major improvements that will make Drupal 6 an even more attractive platform for building websites.

As always, you should upgrade these modules on a test site first, and make sure to make a complete backup. You never know how your site's customizations will affect things, or what silly little thing nobody else caught.

IMPORTANT! There are a couple Drupal core bugs that could affect anyone using Views and anyone updating from an earlier version of CCK. They will be fixed in the Drupal 6.3 release, whenever it gets issued. Until then, you must use http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/cck-6.x-2.0-rc2.tar.gz, the latest development release of core.

More details about these pivotal module releases follow...

Drupal重量级的新闻：Views 2, CCK 2 和 OG 三大模块针对 Drupal 6 同时发布了 RC 版。

距离 D6 发布将近五个月后，三大模块终于跟进了。但这次的新版本绝不是简单的从 D5 到 D6 的升级，而是从代码上进行的全新构建。

其中变化最大的就要算 Views 了！新版不仅在易用性上有大量改进，更重要的是针对之前为人诟病的性能问题把整个代码进行了重构。
