From the link you provided! Its the only download available on that page as far as I can see. I found the instructions quite confusing actually. ...~test 1.57.0 for release 1.58.0 with a 1.59.0 core...

@avoca sth seems wrong here, maybe a version was build incorrectly (though that's very unlikely), could you provide me with the direct link of the file that you downloaded?

Also maybe you still had the old version open, make sure you quit delta chat completely and then open the new version.

Doh, I'll check my downloads folder again.

Stay tuned.

Update: Ok, got it sorted. My bad.

Cheers.
