Summary20517: Global Settings -> Updates use "Release Candidate" as default setting, should be "Stable" instead
Description

Newer LimeSurvey versions come with a global settings tab for updates. At the drop-down, the default setting is "Release candidate". These versions are often not really stable yet. Thus, I highly recommend to set the default setting to "Stable" so only stable versions are shown to the users as updates. Otherwise, many people will update to an unstable release candidate, causing serious issues to their system.
