Release Candidate is abbreviated as RC, which is often used in computer software, and represents a candidate release version of the software.

In general,Beta releases are released in the late stages of software development, adding new functionality based on user needs and test results. This phase is before the RC version is released.
The RC version is released before the software is finalized, and no new features or modules are added, primarily to remove bugs (exploits or errors). The release of this phase is the official version.
