Unless something happened over the weekend that I am unaware of,  that is MC2023 PC1.
It is a full download.

PC1 = production candidate 1.

If mission critical issues are reported in PC1, there will be a PC2, sometimes even a PC3
Otherwise, PC1 will become the formal public release, some time in early June.

If you check the offical downloads, the PC1 is gone and there is a 2023 available as of 5/27

I heard they pulled the Pc1 right away from some reason, then I noticed this one, which appears to be the full version, but gcode knows more than me about the beta cycle because hes a beta tester

As have I since I dunno, about 2005  :)

I would not be the 1st time that a quiet release was done for several days before it gets announced as being released

Even sometimes during the Beta cycle, things are caught that can't be addressed until a later point...it really depends on how critical it is...over the years, we have seen a couple of very late "show stoppers"....they don't happen often but every once in a while

It looks like they released MC2023 on 5/27.
If they sent out an email, I missed it.

They didn't but yes it looks released. Must be trying to impress Sandvik and have it released early.

I haven't gotten an email either. I am downloading it now. How buggy is it? I didn't take part in any of the beta testing. Lot's of improvements I hope. 2022 is a really good version for me, and it runs well on my computer. It seems like the first release of a new version is always buggy in my experience.

gcode

I think PC1 expired so they rushed out the formal release
I can launch PC1, but it won't do anything.
If I go to System Config/Help/About, it locks up
Does anyone have the email that announced PC1?
It will have the expiration date on it
I've deleted mine

and the Email on the release "just" arrived

Note: This is not the same build as Mastercam 2023 PC1. You will need to completely uninstall previously released versions of Mastercam 2023 and install the RTM version. A defect that was preventing Automatic Updates from functioning was resolved between PC1 and RTM.
