The different OS versions have different repositories. A "pkcon update" does not update anything of the OS unless you reconfigured ssu to point to "latest", which may be as the name suggests a symlink to the latest repo.

Release candidates are dangerous because they may still contain issues that brick devices (or at least require a reset to factory defaults, or some good Linux skills to fix).
For every release candidate that did not become a release, there is at least one critical known bug.

Release candidates generally do not get further update notifications, so you cannot update them through the UI.

Something roughly analogous to what vitaminj just outlined, I wish it was implemented by now, it should be piss-easy.
Verification of what? Geek card?

The current opt-in is an extension in that it allows you to get updates even without enabling developer mode or 3rd party packages (which usually put your device into "you're on your own" mode regarding software). If you've already done either of these two, then why do you need to do any additional opt-ins? You could already fsck your boot by installing some packages, or even entire releases you just built yourself from sources..

This is unofficial pirate version with backdoors and a lot of bugs stealing your personal information and sending your private photos to china servers.

Read my post in the context of some posts just before it. This makes a fair amount of sense...

As does this....

One smaller opt-in or more, before a much broader opt-in for more general users/devs...
A group (or groupings) of users that have a different level of access (via Jolla acc'ts?), to one or more earlier opt-in channels.*
The next hop after that opt-in or opt-ins, could be open slather to as vitaminj says: "Really enthusiastic enthusiasts with cavalier attitudes"

*channel[s] that aren't just for anybody who happens to stumble across the right info.

Is there a way to see the changlog of 1.1.4.28?

The only one: wait for official release and announcement.

How and where can I see if the release is actually a real release or just another official leak? (version wise)

They will announce it on their twitter feed and on TJC, as per usual.

Whatever version they end up on will be up for a while while they test it, then when they are happy with it they will flip the switch (and upload the all-important lake image and release notes) to let opt-in users grab it through the normal sailfish update settings panel.

The ones you will receive in Settings - System - SailfishOS are official. Also a notification appear. All other are fakes or leaks, don't install it!

After the update was downloaded, but before it was installed, do
Code:
find /var/cache/zypp/packages -name "*.rpm" -exec rpm -qpi --changelog "{}" \; | more
and have a good read, or wait for the official changelog on together.jolla.com.
