I tried to download the .NET Core 1.0 SDK. However, when I download it from the official location, and try to install, it says that it's ".NET Core 1.0.1, SDK 1.0.0 SDK Preview 2".

Is there a 1.0 version or any other version that is not in preview or RC stage? If so, where can I get it?

I am aware that RC is supported for production. However, isn't there a version that is not in preview or RC stage yet?

There are two different things going on here, which can be confusing:

The .NET Core API (packages and libraries) are 1.0 and considered stable. There was recently a minor update to some packages (1.0.1) to fix some bugs.

The .NET Core tooling, including support in Visual Studio 2015, is considered "preview". There are still some bugs, and the project file formats will change in the future (project.json will go away).

In short, the code is stable and the tools are still evolving. The way the installer phrases it makes it extra confusing.
