I have been using the Linux beta (6.10.10.0) and I am very happy with it - but it has now expired. Are there plans for a new beta any time soon?

Thank you Polina, Minutes after I posted this a new version became available. What response! Thank you so much.
PS: Oddly the new version seems to have disappeared again. I was sure I saw a page that showed the version 8 beta with a June expiry date but the download page now shows the expired version again. I haven't even had tea this morning - maybe that's the problem.

UPDATE: Ok it changed again since my last update. Now the download page button links are correct and there is now a .deb package available as well as the .tar.gz version. A nice touch for the .deb users. Thank you RU!
UPDATE: Although clearing my cache and cookies appeared to have allowed viewing the new version of the download page, the download button still points to the expired version of the Linux Viewer. I modified the download link to https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/viewer1.0.8.b8.tar.gz and this worked for downloading the new version of Linux Viewer. The website appears to need the download button updated to point to https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/viewer1.0.8.b8.tar.gz
I just went to https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/linux.php which still had the expired version available. As an experiment I cleared all my browsing history, cache, cookies, etc (Firefox 87.0) and now Version 1.0.8.q Beta 8, April 1, 2021 Free license (expires June 1, 2021). Is available. This may help others who are unable to see the new download link.

This version's free period is extended till June 1, 2021.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
