Here we will publish the latest changes and bug fixes that went live.

Current live version

We are rolling updates out in waves - usually the Office Add-In is first, while the COM Add-In will come a bit later. Also, we do have different release channels, so there also might be a delay. In the future we will have an option to change the release channel and to force check for a new version.
