I’m also publishing a beta3 release: Release Grin++ Wallet and Node v1.2.7-beta.3 · GrinPlusPlus/GrinPlusPlus (github.com). Feel free to test. This will be the final beta release before publishing the stable v1.2.7 which will be a maintenance release for the most part.

I also updated the Android branch. You can download the latest apk and binary from Release Grin++ Android v0.3.3 (node v1.2.7) · GrinPlusPlus/GrinPlusPlusMobile · GitHub

Again, I’m not adding more changes, v1.2.7 will bring more stability to the sync process, improving specially the P2P code.
