What is a beta version?
Curious about what the next version of Tacview will bring? Beta releases give you early access to upcoming features and improvements before they are published in the official release.
Although we work hard to keep beta builds reliable, they may occasionally contain regressions or incomplete functionality. They are primarily intended for users who wish to explore new features early and help us improve Tacview by reporting issues or sharing feedback.
Requirements
Running beta versions requires a valid product key. If you are considering purchasing Tacview, you can compare editions on the features comparison page.
For maximum stability, we recommend installing beta versions alongside the latest public release rather than replacing it. This allows you to easily return to the stable release whenever needed.
