Platform: Windows PC (Beta Branch)

Therefore, FORScan Beta 2418 is a build released in the 18th week of 2024. The "new" designation indicates that within the Beta channel, this is the most recent iteration, superseding Beta 2415 or 2410. It bridges the gap between the stable release (currently 2.3.59 as of this writing) and the future stable version 2.4.0.
