Thanks! I got the incorrect updated resources in the popup. Unfortunately I already closed it, so I can't share a screenshot.
It was showing the books I bought on 1 March as part of the monthly sale/free books etc. and not the books that were updated with today's release.

I am not having this problem. It is not showing the free book of the month I got on March 1st in the updated resources popup. However, it will show if you click on the "Resources updated in the last 7 days" link, which opens the library filtered to resources updated in the last 7 days. Maybe that's why you're seeing additional books that you purchased, if you clicked on that link.

No, it was showing the new resources directly in the dropdown, together with the notification of the new version, which I both closed.
I'm on a localized Logos version. Maybe that's relevant for replicating this issue.

Did they choose not to ship the cloud resources feature then?

That's correct. The feature is not yet ready for general use.

"Home Page
- Added a date picker to lectionary cards to open the layout to the desired date."
This doesn't appear to be working correctly. When I select a date other than today, the layout opens the lectionary itself to the correct date (the one I selected) but all of the other resource panels are opened today's (March 4th) reading. I selected March 10th, therefore all of the other resource panels should be open to the "First Reading" for that day (Deut 26:4-10), but they're not. See the photo below. The Sirach reading is today's first reading.

I'll write up a case.

After closing and opening Logos a second time, the popups are back, and are now correctly showing the updated resources! Yay!
Maybe the incorrect previous popup was just a hiccup from the update... As far as I remember, I had not closed Logos since 1 March (when I bought the other resources), so maybe it still considered them as "new". Anyway, I'm glad it's working now.

- Added the option to sort Notes by Reference.
This option is disabled on my Desktop version. Do I overlook something or does someone experience the same?

I do see this behaviour.
But if, for example, I select the "Data Type > Bible" in the Notes Tool facet filter then sorting by reference is enabled. This seems to be required even when all of the notes in a particular notebook are of the Bible data type. I don't remember seeing this restriction earlier in the beta process.
The RC1 release notes have:
"Reference sort is automatically applied when selecting the “Data Type” or “Bible Books” facet"
And I wonder whether this has resulted in a requirement to have one of these facets selected.
Hopefully Failthlife will comment further.

It does appear that you must only have the Bible Books data type selected. In a way this makes sense, but in another way this assumes that a notebook you wanted to sort by reference does not also have unanchored notes within it.

Found this confusing even though there may be logic. I have a notebook with 525 notes all linked to Bible verses. Having to apply two facets to sort by reference does not seem like the optimal solution so I really hope that this is changed.
Really grateful to those here who decoded how to use the feature.

I think its a bug but it will be interesting to see comments from Faithlife on this one.

Does you mean that it's designed to work this way or that it's a bug?
If this is by design I really don't understand it!

Agreed, if it is design, it just doesn't make since in real-world usage.

Thank you for the update, there seem to be some good improvements. In other news, a lot of shortcuts in the note editor are now broken. ctrl+. and other similar short-cuts no longer do anything in the notes editor. Phil mentioned that the idea is being tossed around right now regarding a possible future addition of styles that could be user editable (with user changeable shortcuts?), were these purposely removed for that reason? Or is this just a bug?
One thing that I noticed that was good, was the notification of what is downloading and being able to access the release notes straight from that menu. The only problem with it is that it does not want to go away. I have read it like a billion times and it there is no way (that I see) to get rid of it. Still three items in the beautiful little blue ball...
Also, does it seem like there is less space for the resources that a user can add into the upper right side of the program? It used to be that I only had trouble on my 13.3in laptop, but now even on my 24in monitor there is little to no space for my favorites when I have Logos relegated to half the screen (for editing in a word processor on the other half of my screen).

A big thank you for the quick link to the release notes [:D]
It's been frustrating to have to go looking for new updates since the update to version 8. The new layout is excellent.

So should I allow this download or not? Based on the comments in this thread, it looks like I should avoid this one and wait for some more fixes.

I don't see anything in this thread that would call for not downloading it. There are some new things that don't work as some of us expect but that isn't a reason to avoid it.
Were there particular things that concerned you?

"Added Previous/Next Annotations navigation buttons to resource panels."
This is my favorite feature in 8.3. I often read a book on the iPad app and highlight along the way, then come to the desktop software and jump from highlight to highlight to review the book in my mind. Sad to see earlier it was gone in 8.0. Happy to see that it is back [:)]

First, it is the nature of the software development world to have bugs. There will always be something that is found upon release. Always. Second, I don't really see that many bugs in 8.3 so I am not sure "bug infested" is a fair characterization of this release.

Dear Forum,
Can anyone tell why I get this error each time I build a personal book and also a workaround to get the PB to build? This started with Logos update 8.3.

By the way. I closed all panels then opened the personal book tool and it still did not build the PB. Thanks

Update: I rebooted my Windows 8.1, ran Logos 8.3 with only the "Personal Books" panel open and then it worked. I think we may have a bug here.
Thanks for any input you have have. I have got to teach this Personal Book tomorrow and I am very glad to get it working.
Have a great day!

Restarting Logos is the usual solution.
