Zotero beta release notes?

gschrock · March 19, 2021

I've been enjoying the 5.0.97.beta releases with the PDF viewer, but am curious if there is a place where you annotate the changes with each release? I don't necessarily want to update the beta every single time, so it would help to know what has been fixed/updated. Thanks!

the standard beta versions have never had release notes -- it's just too much work to document stuff that is by definition in flux -- you can follow along on github if you're really keen.

@gschrock: If you choose to use the beta, we strongly recommend installing new beta versions as they come out. These releases by definition fix bugs, including potentially serious ones, and you unnecessarily jeopardize your data by staying on older versions. Updating involves clicking a button and waiting a few seconds, so there's no reason not to do it.
