Release notes

Version 11 - May 29, 2021

A few days ahead of schedule, we are happy to announce that version 11 is now the stable version.

For those who were in version 11, nothing changes except that from tomorrow, you will be in version 12.

For those who were on version 10 and up to date with the automatic updates, you will get a small pop-up window telling you that version 10 is obsolete and that you are invited to upgrade to version 11. This will not prevent you from continuing to use version 10, but we really recommend that you switch to version 11.
