Any chances the VPS notifications/sounds will return?

I miss them and they also give that peace of mind of protection. It could even be disabled by default but I'd be nice for the user to be able to decide if they want them.

This problem is still there:
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=166433.msg1188150#msg1188150

A broken link in the OP's post:
The requested URL /supp/util/avastsupportR2.exe was not found on this server.

https://www.avast.com/en-us/faq.php?article=AVKB33#artTitle
It still provides the old(er) report creator.

Hi Avast Team! I am currently running Avast Free 2015.10.2.2215 and I have no intentions to install beta. Reason I am writing is that I have reported a existing bug/issue that was in the previous versions of avast couple of times and it is still present in the version that I have and one of the user in this forum also confirmed it from my post. The bug/issue that I am talking about is when you sign in to avast account via Avast GUI and it gives you completely different component status that is shown compared to what you have installed (custom installation). I have already submitted an ticket and it is still open and currently getting assistance from an technical support specialist from Avast though it hasn't been solved yet. Ticket # #BYU-790-31187

I just want this bug to be fixed in this new version when it comes out as final. Thanks. Much appreciated.

 Installed the update on my PC that was experiencing the 100% disk usage. Installed fine over the top of current install. So far disk usage has not hit 100% and my Wifi is now connecting automatically at boot. The only major difference I saw that the beta uninstalled the avastNG tools, I don't know if those are not included in the beta but just reporting what I see :)
