Please note that going from 3.5 to 3.6 is a one-click upgrade and is NOT a migration. The same is true is for any subsequent versions in the 3 series of the CMS.

What is this release for?

This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE release, which should only be used on test sites. Release Candidate releases cannot be upgraded. Extension and template developers are encouraged to work with this release in order to prepare extensions for the stable release of Joomla! CMS 3.6.

Important:

Please do not upgrade any of your production sites to the release candidate version and do not start a new site on release candidate as a release candidate is ONLY intended for testing and there is no upgrade path from Release Candidate.
