New early access update is now available

I LOVE THIS UPDATE! ❤️

Sorry for shouting.

Release candidate!? Are we finally close to GA? 👀

Release candidate!? Are we finally close to GA? 👀

Windows only I read/hope.

The macOS version is far from ready, considering all the current bugs.

Release candidate. Cool. From my point of view, it's stable enough if seen as a whole. If you want to officially release, go ahead.

However, for me personally one single important feature is missing, that is present in v7, and that makes v8 still incomplete: this is the custom reordering of fields. I use that feature from v7 quite often to store and organize additional data on identity items, server items and so on. Currently, you are not able to add a new custom field "in the middle" of a section and move sections up and down. You can only add to the bottom, but not move it to the right place above. This makes me not well organized.

+1 on reordering fields.

I'm also a bit surprised by the GA candidate for Windows/Linux. The reception for the early access did not seem to meet Dave and Roustem's expectations, and so I wonder how the reception to the final release will be. The app did not previously exist on Linux so as long as it's stable they will probably be happy, and my understanding is that the previous Windows version was not at the same level of the Mac version, so they also may be satisfied with the current state of v8.

I do think it's smart not to GA the Mac release yet, and hopefully most of the remaining rough points get sanded off before the Mac version goes GA.

As always, thank you so much for participating in the early access release and helping us to improve 1Password.
You're very welcome, @dteare ! It was a pleasure for me to help you improve the v8 release. :+1:

Edit: Nevermind, just forget it. It's not worth talking about anymore.

Wait. You're going to release 1Password 8 although search is still broken? In it's current state search finds only a small fraction of items I could easily find in 1Password 7 because version 8 doesn't search for substrings.
Are you really ignoring all the feedback regarding the sidebar? In its current state it's pretty much useless for people with a small amount of vaults/tags who were used to switch categories via sidebar. The current implemenation of category switching using a dropdown menu requires much more clicks.

Thanks for the feedback, Former Member, @EnerJi and @viswiz. We're listening!

I just want to briefly note that, while the official launch of 1Password 8 for Windows will be a milestone (and a big one, we hope!) that won't be the end of the iterative process for us. Fixes, improvements, and new features will continue to come on a regular basis, and we're paying close attention to what folks like you are asking for. And we appreciate that you let us know where the value is for you!

We've just pushed out a new version to the beta channel, #80400045. We were not satisfied with our Korean and Japanese translations, and have disabled them while we improve those translations. Otherwise the build is identical to #80400040.
