We've moved 5.0 from Beta to Preview, as it now provides a more stable and performant experience than the legacy 4.7 version.
This build incorporates critical fixes and brings back the final set of features missing during the rewrite phase. It is designed to be a "transparent" upgrade—you get the benefits of the new architecture and UI without any change in how you use the app.
Package Name & Data Migration
We have reverted the package name back to the original 4.7 ID. 5.0 Preview will now install directly over 4.7 installation and use its data. The separate "Beta" package is now deprecated. If you have been using 5.0 Beta and want to transfer that specific data to this updated version, please use this tool (also accessible in-app).
Release Plan
If no critical bugs are found in the next 3-4 days, this build will be promoted to Stable.
