The build number, that's all that APPEARS different to me. I'm sure things I'm not using have changed...

Annother new beta released. Didn't get an email about this one, only a notification when opening SoftMaker Office.

So, might just be my install, but I suggest removing/installing with this 3rd beta. It caused a LOT of errors and took a LONG time to install when upgrading, while after removing it entirely and reinstalling it went pretty much as expected, although still took longer than would be ideal IMO.

I've switched all my 2018's over to 2021's for now. I'll decide if I should reinstall 2018 or buy 2021 when they offer the upgrade discounts. I'll buy it if it's cheap enough just to continue to support them offering it for linux. But if they raise the prices by too much over 2018, then I'll abandon it.
