Hello,

I would like to ask if it is safe to update from V4.3.1 to 5.0.0.b1 ?
There is no direct update message or info in the admin panel so I am wondering what should I do?
Full guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, it is. We have marked it as a beta since we rewrote the user interface. The actual protection features are stable. If you find any user interface bug (like something displaying a bit weird, something not responding to a click) please report it to us and we'll fix it.

As things are right now, next Wednesday we will publish a release candidate (RC) and two weeks after that the stable version. We don't expect any substantial differences between these releases.

Thank you Nicholas.

I already noticed it is slower to load with a noticeable delay in the interface: it takes at least 2 say 3 seconds for the text to display.
