@craftyjon So far so good on MacOS M1

Same here with Windows 11. I put this RC though my full design flow and compared various outputs to stable 7.0.8 outputs (hadn’t updated to 7.0.9 yet).

All good!

What is the best way to upgrade/try this release?

I have custom libraries setup using Preferences->Configure Path/Symbol Libraries/Footprint Libraries (3rd_party, user_library) and would like to not set up the paths again.

Sorry, I always seem to forget this info. and searching doesn’t provide a clear answer.

If you are already using V7, any local library path error is a bug.
Obviously the supplied libraries will get overwritten if you do a full update. This is why you should never modify these.
