Should there be the "Development Test Release" flash screen as the programme starts?

Redownload it and you'll get the correct version. prapper had added one and I missed it when packaging the final. The fixed version is up. You can download the new one or just click Check for Updates in the 2.0 Beta platform to get it.

(Side Note to Devs: After an app is official, we don't do dev tests of it anymore. It gets pre-releases if it needs a test for a new version from then on and we never use the DT splash with it.)

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

John, sorry if this might be the wrong place to ask.
FR used to mark a changed file (via typewriter or else) with a "Buy the full version-stamp".
This is no longer there in this version. Is this a bug or did Foxit Corporation gave us an early present?
And thanks for all your work!!

This is just the Foxit they release repackaged portably.
