As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.

I just noticed that the files have an "b1" in the file name. Dang!

They're not beta RCs, they're release RCs. Sorry for the confusion.

Not a suggestion for 1.72, but we could probably simplify pre-releases naming to just RCn without betas. I.e. we'd have 4-5 RCs instead of RC betas and RCs.
