Back when automatic update was first introduced there was some discussion in the forum about how the feature works. My understanding is automatic update does not recognize beta updates.
I don't know how many people wait for the beta flag to be removed from an update. I always download and install updates when I see a new release so I haven't seen the update flag yet.
One additional thought; a backup is automatically made as the first step of any BiaB or RB update. If an update does create an unexpected issue, there is a menu option to roll back the update. To my knowledge only one update has been recalled due to causing issues.

So the question remains...should we go ahead and install the 434 Beta version? Part of me says, "Yes, because this is not Microsoft, it's real software ." The other part says, "No, 'Beta' means 'still in the test phase'".
Beta mostly means "most recent" here. It has already been tested by a small group of users and, of course, the company. And, though I only did it once years ago, you can roll back easily.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
Well, I don't know about you guys, and I'm a technology dinosaur....but the new update is AWESOME! Knock on wood...please don't jinx me...
Everything on my system is running faster. Rendering used to take a couple minutes at a minimum and my header would say "Not Responding," but I knew it was churning, just took forever.
Rendered twice to wav, one wav per track, merge, 2 bar lead, (7 instruments, 114 bars), 20 seconds.
And inserting bars doesn't interrupt the flow of others, like put text out of sync.
I'm sure they are mentioned in the list above, which I haven't read, but man, I'm impressed! Thanks, PG!

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
