Notes
This week's beta release is mostly a maintenance release with a variety of bug fixes and other miscellaneous updates. However there are some further improvements for managing hierarchies with templates, allowing more control over how templates propagate changes in hierarchies to replicas. There's also a new example making good use of flowcharts. As ever there's more on the way so stay tuned for more updates!
