Elastic Stack 8.0.0-rc2 released

We are delighted to announce the second release candidate of 8.0.0 following release candidate 1. Again, we want to remind you that this is not for production use. There is no guarantee that 8.0.0-rc2 will be compatible with other preview releases or with 8.0.0 general availability (GA).

We’d love to get your feedback and tips on any bugs you find through our Pioneer Program. To become an Elastic Pioneer, try out the preview of any (preferably, every) part of the Elastic Stack and open issues as you find them in the appropriate repo — Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, Logstash, and APM. When you open an issue, mention that you found the bug in 8.0.0-rc2, and we’ll add a “Pioneer Program” label. If you have questions about preparing for your upgrade to 8.0, visit our forums or community Slack channel, and we’d be happy to help!
