There is no support for doing this, you were warned via the various announcements. No support for updating the beta software and no support for updated beta software. In short you are on your own.
...but there is a database upgrade script - you just need to find it

Although in a lot of cases users are finding that does not work
I went live a couple hours after RC1's release and it's been great so far. The upgrade process went smoothly too; the devs did a great job on the converter.
Behind every evil genius is an even more evil cat.
Looking at phpbb.com there seems to be a lot of people trying to run before they can walk. They've seen it's out and they're going for it like a bull in a china shop. Google MODs, portals, styles, the lot.
I wish some of them (especially ones who don't look like they've been trying the betas) would just take a step back and install it somewhere to try it out first and see what you get and how to use it before looking to change anything.
I will be using it live. I do have some things that I want to add before upgrading. Some of the mods to 2.x I have have of course been superseded by new features in 3.x, but a couple of the mods haven't.

You see that a great deal with open source projects; I've heard fairly often with other projects: "hey! I just wrote code so that it can do x/y" "Um...you could do that already, all you had to do is..."
I'll probably wait and see how things fall out over the next couple of weeks with conversions from 2.0 on a massive scale before I jump in. I've got a few multiple-year-old forums that I'd like to convert, but I don't have the time or energy to troubleshoot if something goes wrong, so I'll wait to ensure that potential problems are resolved before I dive in.
