Hey, Kai from the Cider Discord here!
Apologies for the huge wait time for Cider 2.3.0's release. To address the main concern of this thread, we do have a new in-app update system releasing alongside 2.3.0, which will almost entirely remove the need to wait for the builds to be released here. Instead, you will only need to watch out for the new update notification, and then update in the app itself! This will greatly reduce wait times for builds, and will also be used for those who would like to test out Beta and Alpha builds!
If you have any other concerns, feel free to head into the Cider Discord and open a support ticket, I would be more than glad to help y'all out!
