Hi everyone,

The second release candidate (RC) of the core astropy package for the v5.0
release is now available and ready for testing!

If you are interested in trying it out, you can install this release
candidate by doing:

pip install astropy --pre

or

pip install astropy==5.0rc2

You can find the documentation corresponding to this release at:

https://docs.astropy.org/en/v5.0rc2/

including the full list of changes for this release:

https://docs.astropy.org/en/v5.0rc2/changelog.html#changelog

as well as a 'What's new in v5.0?' page, which I plan to polish up for the
final release:

https://docs.astropy.org/en/v5.0rc2/whatsnew/5.0.html

We would appreciate if you could try out this RC and report back
any success or failure via the following wiki page in the RC2 section:

https://github.com/astropy/astropy/wiki/v5.0-RC-testing

For example, you can try running the test suite as mentioned on the wiki
page. In addition, if you maintain any packages that use astropy, please
check that your package(s) works well with this RC and let us know if there
are any issues or whether everything works fine. There is a section to list
packages that work/don't work at the bottom of the wiki page. Please also
open an issue in the astropy core package issue tracker for any issues you
encounter (and open separate issues for each problem you run into).

If you use conda, be sure to either remove the existing
conda astropy package or make a new environment before installing the RC.
Note that there are no conda packages for the RC.

Thanks!
Tom (release manager for v5.0)
