If you are installing over a beta or previous RC image you may encounter an error when using the "Erase Disk and Install" option. If the installer fails, you may need to manually delete the created partitions and try again:
- Select "Try Installing Again" then "Cancel Installation"
- Choose "Custom Install (Advanced)"
- Select "Modify Partitions…" then use GParted to deactivate and delete existing partitions
- Select ✔️ (Apply All Operations) to apply changes, then close GParted
- Select "Back" to go back to the "Try or Install" view
- Choose "Erase Disk and Install" to install again

Fix an issue installing Flatpaks in the user installation (elementary/default-settings#247)

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/extensions ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/objects ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/refs/heads ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/refs/mirrors ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/refs/remotes ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/state -
Include File Roller contract to re-enable compressing and extracting in apps like Files (elementary/file-roller-contract#3)
Note: you will need to run
sudo apt install io.elementary.contractor.file-rollerto manually install it on existing RC builds.
