GLPI 12 is in release-candidate polish, and rc2 and rc3 changed nothing in the headline scope.

◆Current state
GLPI is three release candidates into its 12.0 major version, with rc1 through rc3 published roughly two weeks apart. The announced scope is the same in all three: a reworked knowledge base, a sessions manager, sudo mode, a reworked OLA model, broad security hardening against SQL injection and CSRF, and some accessibility work. Each RC carries an explicit warning not to use it in production.
◆Where it's heading
The scope froze at rc1, so the later candidates are stabilization passes on the road to a 12.0 general release. The highlights lean toward admin control and security, with sessions manager, sudo mode and hardening, rather than end-user ticketing features. That fits an ITSM tool used in environments where privileged access is audited.
◆Prediction
A 12.0.0 general release or a further RC is the next likely step given the two-week RC cadence; the entries don't say when RCs will stop.

GLPI 12.0 release candidate 3
The third release candidate repeats the same highlight list as rc1 and rc2. It is a stabilization build that brings 12.0 closer to general release without adding announced scope.

GLPI 12.0 release candidate 2
The second RC carries release notes identical to rc1, which signals bug fixing on a frozen scope rather than new features.

GLPI 12.0 RC1: knowledge base rework, sudo mode, sessions
The first public look at GLPI 12: a reworked knowledge base, a sessions manager, sudo mode for privileged actions, reworked OLAs and SQL/CSRF hardening. The scope is substantial, but as a not-for-production RC it marks intent; the real shift lands with the 12.0 general release.
