What's New?

This beta release brings the Desktop builds up to date with Android and also adds some useful new features. A stable version will follow soon. This release only contains Desktop binaries.

NOTE: The installed application will have a version number of 1.12.101.0

NOTE: Windows users may need to install the latest Visual C++ redistributable to launch the app, because it was not included in the installer. It will be included in future installers.
