Good that it can be used as a wallet, pretty handy for those who like to use Core as their daily wallet.
Possibly a 2016 LTE phone could be capable of running 0.12 in pruned mode. Seems inevitable that will happen at some point, if not this year.

It seems that block relaying is still disabled with pruned nodes, unfortunately. I'll be skipping these RC's. One thing at a time, I guess... Good that it can be used as a wallet, pretty handy for those who like to use Core as their daily wallet.
It is not disabled. New blocks will be relayed by pruned nodes. Says it here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.12/doc/release-notes.md#direct-headers-announcement-bip-130 
I've also been running rc1 on Debian without any issue, syncing speed has improved a lot, and wallet now available with pruning mode enable.
Updating to rc2.

Have you tried running in pruned mode yet? I'm curious how much disk space bitcoin uses with that feature enabled

I think there will be an rc3 that will come out this week. Then the final version will be next week.

Well, the irony there is that if you did discover an oddity, the development team (and any fellow sufferers) would likely really appreciate you reporting it on https://github/bitcoin/bitcoin (having checked first the issue has not already been identified). Whether that constitutes speeding the release up or slowing it down is subjective ("but it's more work to fix" v.s. "but known bugs==unfinished release"), but I can tell you that the software seems pretty robust at both rc1 & rc2 for me on Xen/Debian Linux.
Thanks for that link, but we seem so close to the real thing, that I thought I'd wait. As a relative newbie to Bitcoin, I don't feel capable of resolving any oddities in the release candidate. I'm keen to try pruning on a second computer for example.
Go to https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.12.0/ if you would like to try the release candidate today. I think they're up to rc2 now.
