6.2 Beta 1 (6.2.0.0011) is available for testing.
To update to Beta 1, enter the Update Now command if you’ve switched to the beta channel before, or enter the Set Update Channel to Beta command if you’re on a stable version (such as 6.1 SR-1). To install Beta 1 from scratch, see the notes and download links on this thread.
Release Notes
Unless there is something big coming later in the beta cycle, I'm curious why the decision was made to move to 6.2 instead of 6.1a for a release that (so far) is made up of relatively minor bug fixes.
Just curious...not criticizing

I can't find the thread immediately, but elsewhere we have talked about our shift to a 6-week development cycle. With the move to timed releases, we decided to simplify the naming. Thus, after 6.2 I expect the next release to be 6.3.

Fair enough...thanks for the explanation Alan
Here's the (somewhat buried) announcement of the new six-week release cycle: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/98979/685108.aspx#685108
There will be a "6.x Beta 1" every six weeks. The features that are ready to be tested will be shipped; those that aren't will be held back for further development and will be released in the next "Beta 1" six weeks later. This may lead to "uneven" releases based on work schedules or unforeseen last-minute delays, but overall this should lead to a much more stable product with regular updates.

This inevitably leads to speculation that Logos 7 will be announced this year, rather than in two or three years time, otherwise you'll run out of digits after 60 weeks!
(And yes, I know that you could release Logos 6.10, but don't spoil my fun .)

Wouldn't 6.10 be equivalent to 6.1?

Rosie Perera:Wouldn't 6.10 be equivalent to 6.1?
Of course not, it would be 6.A. You guys are too locked-in in the decimal system.
Running Logos 9 latest (beta) version on Win 10
No. See rule 2: http://semver.org/

This convention also reinforces that the current beta should be 6.1a (or 6.1.1 if you prefer) rather than 6.2, since it is just bug fixes and doesn't contain new functionality

The release notes have been updated. Turns out there were some cases that got lost in the shuffle, and didn't make it in - including a rework of the Library/Resource Information panels and improvements to the Courses section of the Home Page.
