As with all beta versions, we will not make custom builds available until we post the final release version. In the meantime, a test build will be available for downloading via the custom build download page. This test build provides the advanced features of a custom build.
We do not recommend releasing software with beta versions of SoftwarePassport/Armadillo, but if you must do so, please test the protections thoroughly to ensure that we haven't missed a bug.
If there are no major problems, the final release will be on July 8.
