Leaflet 1.0-rc2 is mainly bug fixing, with two notable exceptions. The full list of changes is in the [1.0.0-rc2 changelog](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#10-rc2-july-18-2016) as usual.
### Notable changes
* Event refactoring: thanks to an initial work from [@fab1an](https://github.com/fab1an), coordinated by [@perliedman](https://github.com/perliedman), the events are greatly optimized: they are faster, and consume less memory.
* New `L.Tooltip` class: started as a port of Leaflet.Label plugin to Leaflet core, and then reworked, this new class allows to display small tooltips attached to map features. The API is very similar to what Leaflet.Label was (with some exceptions in options naming and default values), so the upgrade path from Leaflet.Label to `L.Tooltip` should be straightforward, and we encourage you to do so while upgrading your Leaflet to 1.0.

### Leafdays
The core team being spread all over Europe, we are doing so called "Leafdays" from time to time to remotely work together during one full day. Here is a debug session with [@perliedman](https://github.com/perliedman) screen sharing:
Next face-to-face session will be during [FOSS4G](http://2016.foss4g.org/) in Bonn, in August, and we hope to see you there. Will this be the final 1.0 release session?
The release is also available through NPM (`npm install leaflet@rc`), [GitHub download](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/archive/v1.0.0-rc.2.zip), and [CDN download](http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet/v1.0.0-rc.2/leaflet.zip). We discourage using Bower.
Use it, enjoy it, and please report any [issue](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/issues) to help preparing the final Leaflet 1.0 release!
