Looks like a number of good fixes in this release, @BartekZooz! Thank you for posting the Release Notes. :slightly_smiling_face:

My hub indicates this is a Beta release? What is the typical interval between Beta and subsequent General Release status?

Usually, it is between a few weeks to even several weeks. It really varies. However, we are testing each version - beta and stable - on our test hubs for weeks as well, before we make firmware available for Z-Box users.

I am glad that you like the fixes that we have made in this version! Thanks!
