As you have heard from Burn, there is a new version of the client coming (1.9.7). This thread will provide test builds of the new client, excluding the data. They can be used on the main server. If you find any issues, please post the details to this thread. Linux 64-bit static and Linux aarch64 - executable only. Download and replace your existing executable with this version. You will have to make the file executable, using for example, a command like "chmod +x <the file name>". Windows 64-bit executable and DLL files zip archive - executable and DLLs only. Download and extract the archive into your current installation folder, overwriting the existing files. Android package - Full package with 1.9.6 data files. This APK can be manually installed over the version from the play store. There is no need to uninstall the old version, clear the cache or delete any previous data. Warning: If you do uninstall the old version or delete any data manually, you may lose your personal files. macOS package - Full package with 1.9.6 data files. Thanks Ben!
