The deployment of version 2.265 started on Monday, May 30, and will be complete tomorrow. At least that´s what we can guess from the in-game version number, because we no longer get this information here in the forum. Why?
The start of the deployment was not announced, the content of the daily updates was not announced, and today, on June 9, a weird mixture of information (which indeed would have been "relevant for beta-testing" directly after it was implemented - not almost 2 weeks later) just seems to have fallen from Hamburg´s unpredictable sky. Or, as the announcements says: "a list of the changes and bug fixes that have been gradually deployed on beta for this version in the last couple of weeks". You can´t be serious...
Please understand that it is essential to have the information about the daily updates in the forum as soon as their content is in the game. We are here to check whether the bug fixes are complete and work correctly (because sometimes they don´t^^), we are here to find new bugs triggered by new features or bug fixes, we are here to provide feedback regarding new content or solutions - when there is still enough time to revise them or improve them before they go live. Otherwise the Beta environment would lose its purpose, and the community its motivation.
I have been frustrated with all those months of almost complete lack of any information in the Beta forum, and although I am grateful that now at least some kind of information is being provided again, I must admit that it is still frustrating to get it so late and so disjointed from the respective daily update(s). Years ago, the updates/changelogs on Beta were provided in the same way as they are on the live worlds, only two weeks earlier. You want to go back to that old process? No problem. However, as long as you are bothering us with daily updates, sometimes even more than one per day, you must also provide daily updates regarding their content.

I also still don´t know what "user story improvements" are supposed to be...
You tell us what changes you made - but we tell you in our feedback whether we think that those changes are improvements...
It would be nice to have a clear distinction between bug fixes and changes in the changelog (as it was before) and also a clear distinction between changes/bug fixes concerning the browser version and those only relevant for the hybrid app.
