there is a new beta version ready - build 26.4.10932.
Release notes
What Was Fixed
VPN reliability & behavior
VPN crash during shutdown fixed
A timing issue where DNS-over-HTTPS notifications arrived after the VPN’s internal DNS cache was torn down has been fixed, preventing a crash in the VPN service during shutdown.
Correct VPN “connection established” event on auto-reconnect
When “reconnect after restarting” is enabled and VPN connects automatically after reboot, the vpn_connection_established event is now emitted reliably so dependent experiences (like targeted messages) behave correctly.
Web protection, QUIC & browser stability
Chrome HTTP/3 (QUIC) long-idle stability improved
Chrome’s experimental long QUIC idle timeout (up to 300s) is now supported correctly. QUIC connections that go idle and then resume are cleanly re-attached and scanned without errors or timeouts.
First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.
This topic relates to the beta release version for Avast Antivirus products beta (not related to the Avast One range), as it is beta you would only get it if you were in the beta trial.
The current regular release (not beta) for Avast Product range is 26.3, when the beta testing phase is completed then it will be released as a regular program update. This depends on your settings, if set to Automatically update it will happen in a phased release across the whole product range.
As I don’t use the Avast One product range, I’m not familiar with its settings - different components, Settings and User Interface and configurability to the Avast Antivirus Free/Pro/Premium/Ultimate range of products.
