We are happy to share our second release candidate build of Octane 2020.2. Note this is is still not a production build so please do not use this for production purposes.
This release includes now all features which will be part of the final 2020.2 stable release. This includes fixes from issues you reported in previous builds as well as some functional updates according to your feedback. Note we are keeping track of all your reports but there are still some fixes could not make it to this release, we are making good progress and they should be coming before this goes into production. Thank you all for your support.
