Hello @Insiders

Weā€™ve been working hard on the latest updates, and the Release Candidate for version 2.19 is now ready for community testing :partying_face:. If youā€™re not feeling particularly adventurous, just stick to the stable 2.18 version for now to avoid any interruptions to your ongoing projects. The official stable 2.19 release will be available later this month after the community testing phase.

How to test?

Installing the release candidate is easy.

  1. Open the Speckle Manager and find your favourite Connector.
  2. From the menu (3 dots), choose ā€œAvailable versionsā€, and make sure that the ā€œShow pre-releasesā€ toggle is on.
  3. Install the 2.19.0-rc .

If you wish to revert back, click the install button for the 2.18 version in the ā€œAvailable versionsā€.

No worries, Iā€™m constantly amazed by the amount of surface area you manage to cover. By definition, thereā€™s going to be lots of cracks!
