About Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat's 8.6 RC line adds self-hostable translation and a unified presence engine
This feed tracks Rocket.Chat GitHub release-candidate tags, and the top of the window is dominated by empty 8.6.0-rc.x and 8.5.0-rc.x 'Bump meteor version' cuts with the real content concentrated in the 8.6.0-rc.0 minor release. Note: this appears to be a duplicate product row of the other Rocket.Chat entry in the catalog (same RocketChat/Rocket.Chat repo, same releases, different slug/UUID); it is being classified independently off its own entries. Because these are RCs, capabilities are staged into a pre-release train rather than GA.
