Builds and update channels
What Stable, Beta, Test and Dev are, the pink Beta bar, the locked screens, and how to read the About screen and build code.
- Update channels: Stable, Beta, Test and DevStable and Beta are the two public channels; Test and Dev are reserved for people Perpetual Technologies picks, and a Test or Dev build locks unless the signed-in account has been granted it.
- Read the About screen and the build codeSettings, Account, About names your version and build, the engine, shell and renderer versions and where the settings file lives, which is what a support reply asks you for.
- The pink Beta bar: what to expect from a Beta buildIn the Beta build, a pink bar across the top of the window reads "BETA BUILD" with your build code and version, then the warning "Expect bugs. Keep a backup of your vault."
- The screen says "The Beta is not released yet"In the Beta build, a screen reading "The Beta is not released yet" replaces the app when the Beta has not been opened to your account yet; nothing is wrong with your account or your notes.
- The app shows a locked screen: what each message meansIn the Beta build, a locked screen replaces the app when it cannot confirm that your account may run it; the title says why, and most causes clear by themselves.
