[NOTICE] Apache NetBeans 12.6 release candidate 2 available for testing

[Neil C Smith <ne...@apache.org>]

The second release candidate build for Apache NetBeans 12.6 is
available (links below).

Changes between 12.6-rc1 and 12.6-rc2 can be found at
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3281

Please help with testing, and file issues in JIRA as necessary, with
the affects and fix versions set to 12.6. Please take note of the Bug
Priority Guidelines (link below), in particular so that we can address
critical and blocking issues if they arise.

**The following rules are applied to pull requests from now until release:**

PR's intended to be included in the 12.6 release :
 - Limited to fixes and (ideally) tied to a JIRA ticket.
 - Base on the delivery branch.
 - Mark with 12.6 milestone (we'll monitor - no need to add us all as
reviewers!).
 - Will be merged by the release team.
 - Will be assessed against the bug priority guidelines.

PR's with features for NB13 :
 - Base on the master branch.
 - Will be reviewed and merged in the usual way.
 - If possible stay away from big refactoring.
 - If possible do not overlap with fixes for 12.6 (delivery will be
merged to master weekly).
