Important notes for users

This is a beta release: while much is improved, you may still see small bugs or incomplete features
Language support in this beta is primarily English; older translations may not be fully validated
The clone (alternate package) will be available only on official stable release, not during beta
If you find issues, please report them via the site’s support so the team can fix them quickly

Why the delay and what was done?

The team changed many parts of the app and removed old code that was not useful anymore. This took time, but now the app is stronger, safer, and easier to update in the future. Because of this, the main systems are cleaner and work better on all devices.v18.0 Beta is a big step forward. Try it if you want the latest features and themes, but expect a few rough edges.
