NEW! avast! 5 pre-release program update [NOW 5.0.394]

Hi *,

we’ll soon be releasing a program update for v5 (a first program update after the official launch). If you’d like, you can test the pre-release bits now. Anyone who has problems with the official build (5.0.377) - especially system-wide crashes or hangs - is welcome to do so. This build is also supposed to fix the “hang” issue of the previous pre-release build (.393) - we’d be very grateful if those who had this problem with the 393 build could verify that it’s indeed fixed.

Download links:
links removed - there’s a newer version available now.

(sorry, no incremental update for now - but running this full package on a computer with 5.0.377 already installed should allow you to do the update; alternatively, you can always reinstall).

Users of 5.0.393 can go to this build by simply invoking the Program update feature from within the avast UI.

This is a service release that is supposed to fix most of the issues reported for the 5.0.377 version. Most importatly, the intermittent BSODs should hopefully be gone.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks much
Vlk

Hi
Is this with beta license? or paid license

3

This is a pre-release build.

4

Not sure what you mean.
Updated release or a beta

5

Vlk by pre-release you mean that the next build that is comming ? But like me i got 5.0.377 now so if that pre-release is good i will can update it from my program update of 5.0.377 without problem right ?

6

“Beta” if you like. :wink:
Something not yet released to the general public (even though it’s coming soon).

If you don’t have any issues with 377 I don’t think you need to bother.

7

I unfortunately had to drop 377 beta license was over :-(. That’s the reason why I asked

8

Vlk will i will be avaible to update it throught my 5.0.377 with no problem at all when the new build will come ?

9

Yes of course, but only after it’s officially released (i.e. not version 394 but some later one).

10

Ok Vlk. That very a good idea. ;D

11

Hi, has anyone already tested this build? Any problems solved by it? Like BSODs or generic slowdowns of the system? Thanks. L.

12

It’s working much better here than the previous builds. No freezes etc.

Thanks!!!

13

Submitting files using the chest is working again on my system :smiley:

14

YES YES YES!!! It loaded and is running fine! This is the first version 5 build that would do so on this PC! (XP Pro SP3.) Thank you for working on this! (Running Avast Pro.)

15

Glad to hear that. Build 393 was actually supposed to be like this but we forgot to fix one little thing which is now fixed in 394.

If we get enough positive feedback on 394, we’ll make a new release build probably tonight (Pacific time).

16

I still get the freeze at the end of install. My reset button’s going to wear out at this rate! :slight_smile:

17

Hi Vlk I need automatically update from 377 to 394 :cry: not manual uninstall

18

394 Yeh!! ;D ;D
All is right with the world again 8)

19

Explain us in a new thread your problem if possible to put screenshot and send them the mini dump on their ftp.

Edit : Coper 3.0.394 is pre-release its will be avaible for the 377 to go throught program update easly without problem.

Installing 394 over 393 got the database versions back in synch.
