@garfieldairlines If you really don't want to wait until it's more stable, you can join our official, verified Discord server(Nova Settings -> Discord) and get the latest builds from the #releases channel. You can also just stop in and say hello as that's the official home of our community.
If you do decide to update to Nova 8, please make a Nova backup first, as Nova 8 backups aren't compatible with Nova 7.
