Great news Bjoern! Thank you for the heads up and good luck with the development.. sometimes breaking changes are unavoidable, especially when you need to jump over several generations of technical debt :-) The best situation is when user will just get new features while the workflow remains the same :-) I have mobo with Wi-Fi 7 (802.11 be / ASUS TUF GAMING Z890-PRO WIFI) so if you need testing just let me know for now its turned off :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.infohome | help
