Yay! Changelog! ;D

Thanks for the new release :slight_smile:

I suppose these beta changes are also included:
New beta version 20.3.2402: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=233306.0
New beta version 20.3.2403: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=233481.0

LOL to that freeloading neighbors in the changelog.Thanks for the update.Will definitely check that feature.

I had a problem installing from UI Update route.
File seemed to complete download phase then error message saying “Something went wrong” or similar.
I hit the [Check for Updates] button and the app update then proceeded to install.
Normally update via UI is straightforward and simple. If anyone incurrs the same error, I hope this is some help.

I noticed that scans have an all new look …

Yep, that has been reworked.

Hello, i currently have no notifications for wifi. and I don’t have the signature Send an e-mail even with activated on gmail

the email signature returned without no problem, but i don’t have the wifi notifs in avast french. I did not find the configuration in the parameters

Noticed, in the last stable release, that the Data Shredder progress bar is no longer linear. Rapidly progresses to the end & hangs there until operation is complete. Never had time to report it, but it’s still ‘broken’ in this release.

I experienced the same ::slight_smile: - resolved very same 8)

Hi,

I can´t see the options related to check in real time the new devices that can join like i saw on the beta. What is happening?

Updated to new version, so far so good !
Thank you

Those new alerts aren’t working, no alerts at all.

Just updated, no problems during the process.

It would be nice to see the “fixed issues” from the previous version in the changelog. Now this doesn’t need to be really detailed but should include most important fixes from known issues.

I also don’t see the new alerts when a new device is connected to the network. Does Dual Band routers which simultaneously run two different WiFi bands at the same time have something to do with this? I would doubt it.

I’ve also said this earlier. Regarding password protecting Avast through Settings, the option “Require password only to access settings” still allows Protection Shields to be disabled via the UI and the tray icon. I don’t like this approach, it should prevent disabling of protection features. The other option of “Require Password to Open Avast” does work but what if a user who did not know the password etc would like to run an on demand scan etc?

Thanks for new version …

i wanna ask you for very strange thing … why we can’t check scan progress when we close the small window in right corner !

When i open Avast and goes to Scan Tab i can’t find any trace of progress scan even if the scan is in progress (cpu is used by app).

i hope you will resolve this issue !
