A small one that sets up something big: Network Optimizer can now tell you about preview builds right in the app, so you're first in line for what's coming - and the 2.0 / Multi-Site preview is landing right after this release.
See the v1.24.0 release notes for what's new in v1.24.0+.
What's New
- Pre-release update notifications - The update banner now surfaces preview (beta) builds, not just stable releases. It's on by default, so you'll be among the first to know when big things land, starting with the 2.0 / Multi-Site preview arriving right after this release. You get early access even if multi-site isn't your thing, because previews carry single-site improvements too (a Network Tools TCP-ping fix, a reorganized tabbed Settings page, gateway WAN speed test alerts, and more). Not interested? Dismiss the banner to opt out, or turn it off under Settings > Software Updates. Your stable update notifications are never affected either way.
Trying a preview
Preview builds ship as pre-releases, so :latest never moves onto them - you pin the specific beta tag to try one. When 2.0 / Multi-Site ships for real, switch your image back to :latest to rejoin the stable track.
