i found Xlibs.tcz which seems has not been in rc testing area when rc1 was released
and if i guess correctly then probably also need add Xlibs.tcz to rc2 notes?
but i'm not quite sure in this when i look its change log

In Apps and ScmApps there are many buttons labeled 'Go'. Would be good to use real labels like 'Add' and 'Remove' in the Update menu, just one example.

Are you talking about the OnBoot and OnDemand maintenance selections?

How about an option to check for extensions loaded in the "OnBoot"  list that are already dependencies of other extensions which are already loaded OnBoot..?  Add it to the APPS > Maintenance menu

Or to take this one step further, how about limiting an extension form being added to the OnBoot list if it is already added by way of a dependency of another extension..??


Or has this already been done and I haven't found it yet??
