GrapheneOS version 2023022300 released
dronisuav https://grapheneos.org/releases#about-the-releases
Releases are tested by the developers and are then pushed out via the Alpha channel. The release is then pushed out via the Beta channel shortly afterwards. Finally, the release is then pushed out via the Stable channel after being tested by some users using the Beta channel. In some cases, problems are caught during Beta channel testing and a new release is made via the Beta channel to replace the aborted one. In general, it's not possible to downgrade unless a downgrade update package is generated, so use the Stable channel if you cannot tolerate dealing with temporary issues while a new release for the Beta channel is being created.
matchboxbananasynergy do the devs need any help with testing? Not trying to rush it but volunteers may be welcome.
Kottonballs I think you can help testing by switching to beta or alpha channel in system update settings
Yes. They're always looking for more alpha/beta testers.
You can join the alpha/beta testing room on Matrix: https://app.element.io/#/room/%23testing:grapheneos.org
You can read through the history to see how people assist with this.
Kottonballs if you are willing to take the risk that something might break, than not only the devs but the users will extremely appreciate that you joined aplha/beta Chanel. As meany users catching potential fail the better. Usually it goes smooth and quickly the OS is in stable phrase but this is due to (not only) people who is helping with testing.

the__retro Did the banking app get an update? It's likely they've started enforcing that only Google certified OSs can do contactless payments. Which app is this?
