Help us ensure that 0.72.0 will be as stable as possible by testing this version! Let us know how it went by posting a comment in the working group discussion - and please specify which system you tried it on (ex. macos, windows).

Bonus points: It would be even better if you could swap things around: instead of using a fresh new app, use a more complex one - or use a different library that is already leveraging the new architecture!
