        Hmm, that shouldn't be offered in 2.8.1 because it would be a downgrade. Digging....

                @stephenw10 BTW 24.11 is t he only option in the drop down menu on the system/update/system update tab and also in the system/update/update settings

                No option for 2.8.0, or the beta 2.8.1 sorry for the many post wanted to give you more information.

                  Yup I was seeing that here too.

                  Should be good now. You should only see the 2.8.1-Beta repo available from 2.8.1-Beta.

                  Thanks for reporting!
