Beta Release: Cycle 9 RC Refresh Builds

We are refreshing our RC builds in the Beta channel for our next major release, called Cycle 9.

As this is a Beta build, there are some known issues and the possibility of new issues being found during testing. Please check out the product release notes to see all the fixes and known issues for this release.

Please note that if you wish to use Xamarin.VS with VS 2012, you should not install this RC build, as it will overwrite that version on your machine.

If you see a behavior that looks suspicious in these versions, and if it isn’t clear whether one of the known issues in the release notes matches the problem, please file a quick bug report to let the team know.

If you notice an error in this blog post or have trouble downloading one of the installer packages, please let us know in the corresponding forum thread.

Known Issues

For a list of known issues, please refer to the Release Notes for the appropriate product.
