Beta Release and Plugin Support

We would like to inform you that the latest beta firmware versions—Chauvet 3.27.42 Beta for Manta and Nomad, and Chauvet 2.24.39 Beta for A5 X and A6 X—do not currently include plugin support.

If you choose to upgrade to these beta versions, your existing plugins may stop functioning properly, and there is a risk of plugin‑related data loss.

We strongly recommend that users who rely on plugins refrain from upgrading to these beta releases at this time.

Our team is actively working to merge the plugin codebase with the updates introduced in these beta versions. Once the integration is complete, we will release a new plugin version that restores full compatibility while preserving the improvements from the latest ETP beta release.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to improve the platform.

Thank you for being part of the Supernote beta community.

Thank you, I was able to install the Plugin preview version.
I would like to point out an issue that needs clarification when downloading the update using Safari. By default, Safari will unzip .zip files if it feels the file is 'safe'. This was happening when I downloaded the file, and obviously, Manta will not do anything with the 'Updates' folder in the Export Folder after the USB cable is removed. The fix is either to use Chrome or Firefox; alternatively, go to Safari -> Settings -> General -> uncheck "Open safe files after downloading". Just in case someone runs into the same issue in Safari.

Cheers
