Dear Beta Testers,

I wanted to inform you that an update is rolling out just for you right now.

This update involves only internal restructuring changes that have no impact on functionality, so you won't see anything new or changed, but since the update is very large in terms of touching a lot of files, I wanted to do a canary roll out first.

If you notice anything strange, please let me know!

Thanks,
Salvatore

Some cursory browsing thru my images revealed no problems, so all is well.

I uploaded a new image and a revision today and everything looked fine.  I wouldn't have known there was an upgrade had you not told us.

Normally there are updates almost every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. Small features, small bug fixes, security patches.

When I have something more major and I'm not 100% confident after my own testing, I ask people here to test.

The update today you're not supposed to see anything new, it was just code cleaning and restructuring. I'm quite confident it hasn't broken anything. But since this update touched 1200 files, I'm a bit nervous so I put it thru this process of first making it available to members of this group.

If I don't get any reports about something that broke in a couple of days, I'll make it available for others.

This restructuring was needed for a larger feature that I hope to release in the coming weeks.

Thanks for letting me know your experience!

Salvatore, I messaged you earlier today and you never answered me but basically AB was unavailable to me for over an hour and a half. Had nothing but errors.

I’m glad I was able to get back on AB.
