Release 17.6 beta 1 (4.10.692):
Release 17.6 beta 2 (4.10.1248):
One of the biggest change is that UI seems to move away from Qt. Namely, new UI is based on Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 which brings many advantages - especially RAM usage reduction.
Even though it is not related to beta's build, I found interesting article:

Asked for confirmation.
My expressions: I've been running FS Protection beta for over a year and I'm really satisfied with the quality. I've reported some bugs, but all in all the software runs really smooth in my system - fast and stable.
One minus side is that sometimes I notice slowdown with newly downloaded file. It looks as if FS is doing cloud checkup on the file and (usually installer) icon is not visible during "checkup". Nor could I open or run it. Fortunately it does not happen often.
Moreover, the FP rate from DeepGuard blocking "new" files has drastically lowered. I used to get a lot more "FP-s" from DeepGuard (reputation block)

New features:
- When banking protection is terminated, all information from clipboard is wiped.

I'm secretly hoping it is something new, not Capricorn (Avira) engine...
