A new beta is now available. 2.1.29 will primarily be a bugfix release, so this beta should be pretty stable. For more info, please see [https://betas.ankiweb.net](https://betas.ankiweb.net) ---

That’s strange… I can confirm the issue with Arabic (regardless of addons): ![anki-shot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/1X/3cc5365e67a4792e1d6b32a53de2ed68b671d551.png) Maybe some addon you use applies ltr direction to the webview, overriding the [recent change](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/commit/01ff6ab55d4c87ad0622300c3c0146ce23d60248) in Anki? ---

Thanks, the next beta should fix the title being in the wrong place. If the change to RTL webviews broke other things please let me know - I can roll it back before a stable release if it needs more work. The ok/cancel/etc buttons are translated by Qt, and Qt unfortunately does not have translations available for all languages. The % figure being off in Pontoon is an unrelated issue. ---

Please, make one stable release that updates only after X amount of time have passed and a insiders release or whatever which updates regularly. It’s really annoying to update to the new Anki versions and not be able to use addons, **specially** when Anki is highly dependant of them to be pleasing. ---

can I use 2.1.29 beta on Windows and 2.1.28 on macOS, both with the same account and decks? edit: I have installed 2.1.29beta2. After starting Anki synced my profile to the current status and I did some reps. Now I can’t sync. I get a message which reads I should do a database checkup and force full sync from preferences. Database checkup doesn’t solve the sync problem but I’m afraid of doing the second step. Is it safe for my collection? ---

Beta 3 is now available, with a graphs fix and another attempt at fixing AltGr on Windows. If no issues are found in the next day or two, it’ll be released as 2.1.29 stable without further changes. @mtylek yes, different Anki versions can usually be synced together. Forcing a full sync should be fine if the DB check did not report any problems. ---

I previously incorrectly assumed it was the same as the AltGr issue. I am surprised that you’re still having an issue with beta3 though, because it uses Qt 5.14.1 just like 2.1.26 did. Is it possible you need to clear out the install folder again as you [did in the past](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/persian-half-space-character/961/13)? ---

Ok, it looks like the PyQt maintainer is deleting old WebEngine versions when they upload a new version, so it’s only possible to download the 5.14.2 WebEngine now. You may be able to copy QtWebEngine\*.dll from the .26 program folder to fix the issue - but it’s probably easier just to use the alternate version for now. Thanks for all the testing 🙂 ---
