Although you didn't explicitly ask, maybe you'll find these information also helpful regarding the last updates:
question:
here i can see that version 2025030300 is the alpha, beta and stable version for like all supported devices. when do the newer versions relase? or is there an error on the relases page
answer by @GrapheneOS :
There's no error there but rather Alpha and Beta were rolled back to 2025030300 prior to releasing 2025030800 because we don't have room on the update servers for 3 releases until we move to larger servers. We have to remove a release that's not going to be reaching Stable before we starting pushing out a new Alpha. It's very annoying and we'll be upgrading the servers soon.

- In MAC address
As others have said you can't really change it permanently on the hardware level, so you can either ask the place you had to connect (I assume your work due to NAC doing the filtering) to remove your device from the db, or live with it and in the future don't connect to such networks.
- In MAC address
GrapheneOSuser74 When the device is connected to a network, it uses a random MAC address that changes with each connection.
Settings > Network and internet > Internet > The name of the network to which you are connected > Network details by selecting the gear > Privacy > Use per-connection randomized MAC (default).
This is an improvement on the original operating system which uses "per-network randomized MAC", this means that once your device connects to a network, the random MAC address it uses becomes static for that network, whereas on GrapheneOS, the MAC address changes with each connection to the same network.
