Notes
This release has undergone extensive internal testing but there are often things we miss or are unable to test without your help. We hope to get this new software into a public release ASAP so everyone can benefit from the new improvements. This means that no new features will be added during beta testing. We will be happy to discuss adding new features to the upcoming v7.5.x client. The release process for the next client version will hopefully be much faster.
