+Good things come to those who wait. OpenTTD 15 is starting the final lap with first release candidate!
+
+With a release candidate, the focus shifts from adding new features to finding and fixing bugs to make OpenTTD 15 the best OpenTTD yet.
+The finding part is where you, the players, come in, too. If there's anything you notive, head over to our [issue tracker](https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/issues/new/choose) and make a report.

+* Draw infinite water when all borders are water
+* Bridges can now be built over locks and docks, too
+* Various tweaks to interface scaling
+* Improvements and fixes to badge support
