@oznu Will this include a note on dashboard if a new beta version is available?

[oznu]

It won't. The npm registry "api" endpoint that I need to call to get a list of all the versions can be quite slow as it also returns the full README contents for every single version ever - as an example, the API call to get version information for the UI is over 6MB of JSON.

Eg: http://registry.npmjs.org/homebridge-config-ui-x

Is there a place where I can see the changes of the latest beta version?

The GitHub commit history on the beta branch 😄.

Beta builds are not formal releases so don't have a changelog etc.
