      The current production channel is still “beta” for now.

      There’s an internal track I’m doing testing releases on but that’s limited to 100 spaces sadly.

              Just got it on my end, didn’t show up as a pending update in the My Apps section until I searched for the app manually - seems to do the trick!

                Yup, I got it as well today. Updated automagically, noticed the new buttons right away. Sweet!
