I don't see how it will be any better than a nightly. If RC1 gets released tonight, it is nothing but yesterday's nightly + a few patches.

It just means that the code has progressed to the point where Cyanogen considers it to be RC1... from the last night's build it's running a lot better than the previous, most of the apps in the market are showing up now, and it just feels snappier.
What were you expecting?

Here is what I am expecting :
1. Now that it is stable true refinements can begin and that we can start tracking issues
2. One step closer to a final release

I believe you're going to get that with a RC release.
I would like my FM radio and wimax to work... but I'll still run CM6 with out it.

Couple of CM6 questions...
Questions:
I have full NAND root and flashed the stock rooted ROM... been waiting for a super stable CM6 with everything working (well, except for wimax). Couple of questions before i proceed:
- Is it necessary to flash the radios that comes with the CM6 builds? The radio I have now seems to be working fine and if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
- How do I flash GAPPS? Just download the zip and flash it just like a ROM?
- Why doesn't cyanogen just package the gapps with the CM6 build... does this have something to do with his cyanogen project agreement with Google?
- When I do a NAND backup, does it include the radios?
Thanks!

Just a question. If his latest build was the rc, would it show up under a different name in a different place other than here http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/supersonic/? His newest build still has the same name progression as the nightly's.

From what i read in the git, it looks like he is taking the next nightly to rc1. The code was committed about an hour ago, not sure when the automated nightly ran....

the latest build is not rc1.

Hmmm. I'll flash the newest nightly and see if anything is majorly different. I guess we really won't be able to tell until cyan officially releases rc1 on twitter.

There were some major camera tweaks in the latest nightly.

There's also a new video's shortcut on the home list page thing. Camera actually uses the entire screen while previewing; can't really tell any difference with recording video. Seems a bit snappier too, but it could just be in my head lol.

Dude...seriously? So the RC is a few patches from test builds, the Beta is a few patches from RC, the Gold is a few patches from Beta, SP2 is a few patches from Gold, v2.x is a few patches from SP2....
...when the hell do you get your software?

- he says you have to have the latest, but someone better qualified could probably answer this better
-yep
-google made him pull roms b/c the google stuff isnt open source. this is the workaround
-no, once you flash a radio its there

It's not an RC by ANY reasonable standard unless it's actually a release candidate. Release candidates don't have things broken. This release canidate would have 4g broken.
CM needs to hold himself to a higher standard. None of the CM6 rcs are actually RCs, and I really do not know why he is calling them that.

Im a twitter noob how do i view his feed of he has said and not others

It's not an RC by ANY reasonable standard unless everything works. Release candidates don't have things broken. They are possible candidates for the final version. This release canidate would have 4g broken, along with FM radio.
CM needs to hold himself to a higher standard. None of the CM6 rcs (the nexus one version, the droid version, etc) are actually RCs, and I really do not know why he is calling them that.

CyanogenMod-6.1 Stable released (not yet for HeroC)

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/home/cyanogenmod-6-1-stable-has-landed
Be sure to post questions/dev questions in the correct forums.

Stable is released for a lot of devices, but I thought the CDMA Hero didn't get it yet? It's not showing up in the stable releases on the CM stable downloads section, CM Hero CDMA forums (stable and experimental), or the team douche mirror.

there is only the stable 6.0.0 version for the cdma hero on that site

correct, hopefully they are about to release rc2, so they are just waiting to post the stable so they can put both up for me no biggie, i am on 1205 jaybob red, so i already sorta have rc2, but for a lot of others that would be great!

Ah, just saw an official post about it. Didn't know they were slackin on the heroC builds.
Also, I never meant to post download links or anything, just the 'press release'.

Just in case you guys haven't seen, 6.1 stable for our Heroc is up: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/category/17-htc-hero-cdma/

Noob question: what does this "stable" mean? I've been running CM6 for months and have never had a real issue, it's a perfect everyday rom, so is this something big or just an affirmation of what we've already been experiencing?

Basically means that all the defects/issues reported so far during RC and nightlies have been fixed and is ready for everyday use.

Thanks for the quick reply, I am kinda new to this and was wondering what the significance really was. I am still in awe of all of these awesome developers. The things these guys can do is amazing.

6.1.0 Stable was released last night. See Official CM Page

The wildfire only goes to 2.2 officialy. CM7 latest build has 2.3.7 and its stable (not including nightlies)

Is that version in stable or night mod?and can can you explain what nightlies is?

Nightlies, from what I know, is a build that they release every night and some times is really buggy but you get the occasional one that is stable. I just stick with the stable releases not the nightlies. Um there is a stable release out.
Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143125
Also the easy way to install it is to use rom manager and make sure you do nandroid backup before you install any roms

Sorry to contradict you but the nightlies in my opinion are just as stable as the stable version, you see a lot of the bugs you may read about in various threads are through user error not the actual rom itself. And been able to use new features long before they are released in a stable version far outweighs the amount of bugs.
I've been on nightlies for about 4 months and only ever had 1 bug, the camera wouldn't work a couple of days ago but Arco already knew why and it was fixed the next day!

All the nightlies I've tried have been stable, I know they had problems in the early stages with bootloops etc but I've been on them since about nightly 100 and never had any major issues apart from my own stupidity.
There is a changelog knocking about somewhere. I'll see if I can find the link later.

[Q] Best build for Hammerhead?

I'm probably going to install this on my Nexus 5. Which build is the most stable and most functional? I'm asking because as of right now, it seems that the only builds avaliable are nightlies.

All KitKat builds are nightlies at this stage. No ETA on stable builds at this stage.

Would you happen to know if there's one that is the most stable? Or should I just flash the most recent?

WILL i9500 GET A STABLE RELEASE OF CM 12.1 ?

How do you think, is there any chance for ja3g to get a stable release? Nightlies started rolling out once in 2 days already. Does this mean it is almost abandoned? Or closer to a stable release? 
 @Alberto96 , may I have your opinion on this also?

Why do you want a "stable" version? It's only a label. If a rom works then it works. It doesn't matter if it's labeled: Alpha, beta, stable, nightlies etc.

+1 to this, also i will add, the i9500 ja3g has exynos CPU and the drivers are not released, so there be always more problems to solve issues or to get an stable version of CM.

Cyanogenmod have dropped the "stable" naming label a while back. From then on releases will be named either "nightly" or "snapshot"/"milestone"(M). Any specific device will only get a Milestone/snapshot release if there is an active developer for that specific device and if that developer marks the device as ready when builds are run. Many of the devices currently getting nightly builds have no active developers and as such will not receive milestone builds. This seems to be the case for the I9505, not sure about yours, though.

Well, I had a clear reason to start this question because , actually, the ROM works, but until now, it is full of bugs. And we all know about it.
