NEW Avast Version 22.7 (July 2022)

[bruce_b]

Never been on the beta channel ... And when I look at the UI it does not seem to show it is on beta ... Just gives the version number so I am not sure if on the release channel or maybe they are making the beta version the latest real update.

I honestly don't know how this could happen (accidentally end up on the beta channel), if it is happening I'm sure you won't be the last to post about it.

22.7 is still the latest regular release, though 22.8 is probably close if you look at program update history being around the end of the month.  However, there appears to be around 10 program updates in a 12 month period.

Personally I have Program Updates set to Manual update and I'm still on 22.5.6015 as I haven't seen much in the bug fixes (I'm not suffering) or enhancements that I feel worth updating.

Just a thought, you could try posting this question in the 22.8.xxx beta topic - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=320860.0 - they may know something about it.

This morning Avast said my AV was not up to date ... I let it update from within the UI and when it was done
I found it at 22.8.6030 ... Not sure if this is the beta version or not, but I was supposed to be on the regular
release channel ... If it did switch me to beta, how can I tell for sure or get back to non beta releases ? ?
Thanks

My system updated this morning also. I think someone maybe just forgot to post it here as released. SUMO and Major Geeks are listing it as final release, too. It seems there would be more people here reporting it, though.

Just doing a manual program update from 22.5 and see what I get.

Well it went straight to 22.8.6030 (build 22.8.7500.734) UI 1.0.722.

That is the same as mine is at as of yesterday ... I tend to agree with Simion that they released it as a final, but never updated the forum threads

I posted this question in the 22.8 Beta topic - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=320860.0 - it was confirmed this was an omission that it hadn't been posted in the forums, but it would be soon.  So far no new topic on the Regular release of 22.8 on the release notes on features and bug fixes, etc.

This was the response:

Has this been released to the public  ?

There are reports of people getting Avast version 22.8 as an automatic program update - I did a manual program update installs Avast Free avast! free 22.8.6030 (build 22.8.7500.734), UI 1.0.722 this is not a beta build.  I haven't been on the beta stream for a very long time and did a clean reinstall when switching back

I don't see a new Program release for 22.8 (not beta) in the Forums. Is this an oversight or do you have a background update problem  ?

Hi DavidR, thanks for bringing this up. Yes the 22.8 is public. The topic about 22.8 release should be on the forum in a moment.

So far no new topic on 22.8.
