Eucalyptus 1 RC2 Prerelease

[Ned Batchelder]

Hello Open edXers,

The Eucalyptus release of the Open edX platform is almost ready!  The second release candidate is now available: open-release/eucalyptus.1rc2.

Installations are available as fullstack, devstack, and native installations.  For fullstack and devstack, a new install script automatically logs the entire process, to help with trouble-shooting.

• An overview of the installation options is here: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OpenOPS/Open+edX+Installation+Options.  
• Upgrading from Dogwood is also supported: http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/latest/platform_releases/eucalyptus.html#upgrading-from-dogwood-to-eucalyptus
• Details of what's new are in the release notes: http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-release-notes/en/latest/eucalyptus.html

I expect to have a final Eucalyptus release later this week.  Your testing of this release candidate will help avoid more fixes in the future. I really appreciate everyone trying it out.

Thanks,

--Ned.
