The more observant of you will have noticed that we've had some issues getting this version out to everyone, so some of you will have received this already depending on what channel you use (Flatpak, Google Play, winget community repos...).

If cutting-edge software is your thing, you can get Alpha 2 from here. Select your platform of choice, and look in the "Prerelease" section.

And take a backup first!
As usual, in the full spirit of open source, you can see what's changed since Alpha 1 here and from v21.3 here.
