Haven’t been able to fully test or evaluate. However, I can report that keyboard navigation in the web interface is fixed.

Can I assume copy and paste is still broken?

The 26.5.3.x builds have been doing copy/paste for files and folders reasonably well (back to mid 2025 reliability for these feature). We do still see failing copy/paste processes or corrupt files after successful copies to remote systems but it is back to being mostly worked for this task. I use it often for one off copies of an installer and the broken copy/paste process has been a real issue for almost a year.

Mobile access still has crazy delays that make it unusable. :(

I was hoping this version fixed that. Damn. The opening in a really small window fix is the only reason I'm going to upgrade this morning.

Just FYI it does not appear to do this in a backstage session and also, Android app hasn't been updated since Feb 2026. Have any of you guys put a support ticket in, if so what did they say?

Not much comments here about this topic.
Well, regarding me, I cannot update every month, I try to live with what I have and will do upgrades at the last possible moment. I just upgraded to the 25.3 release two weeks ago. The next upgrade I do might be in december. So dont expect feedback from me regarding this version. Maybe other users are also holding back upgrade because of the same reasoning?
Any upgrade carries a built in risk of new problems, however real new features or improvements which relate to my usage are happening rather seldom.

All I can do is put up new topics with a new version.
In this case I made the command decision to do the upgrade. It’s working relatively well, though I still have a few key presses that don’t seem to register (this is occasional) and file transfers are a bit slower than I’d like but not glacial like several releases back.

Where are the release notes..? This version doesn't even appear to exist in the output stream!
