# Version 7.2.0-beta.3 2025-09-19
# Version 7.2.0-rc.1 2025-10-01

The Unraid webGUI is now responsive! The interface automatically adapts to different screen sizes, making it usable on mobile devices, tablets, and desktop monitors alike. The Unraid API is now built in, and the release also brings RAIDZ expansion, Ext2/3/4, NTFS and exFAT support, and the (optional) ability to login to the webGUI via SSO, among other features and bug fixes.

Search this page for `-beta.3` to see what has changed since the last beta.

Note that some plugins may have visual issues in this release, please give plugin authors time to make adjustments. Plugin authors, please see this post describing [how to update your plugins to make them responsive](https://forums.unraid.net/topic/192172-responsive-webgui-plugin-migration-guide/).

Unraid now supports Ext2/3/4, NTFS, and exFAT drive formats in addition to XFS, BTRFS, and ZFS.

Use case: say you are a content creator with a box full of hard drives containing all of your historical videos. When first creating an array (or after running ***Tools → New Config***), add all of your existing data drives (blank, or with data in a supported drive format) to the array. Any parity drives will be overwritten but the data drives will retain their data. You can enjoy parity protection, share them on the network, and take full advantage of everything Unraid has to offer.

#### Warn about deprecated file systems

The ***Main*** page will now warn if any array or pool drives are formatted with ReiserFS; these drives need to be migrated to another filesystem ASAP as they will not be usable in a future release of Unraid (likely Unraid 7.3). Similarly, it will warn if there are drives formatted in a deprecated version of XFS; those need to be migrated before 2030. See [Converting to a new file system type](../using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems.mdx#converting-to-a-new-file-system-type) in the docs for details. \[-beta.3]
