FileZilla continues to be one of the top FTP clients on the market, so every single update released to users is downloaded by quite a lot of people out there.

Today, the developers behind the project introduced a new beta build supposed to allow everyone to try out the next full release of the app before reaching the stable channel, but keep in mind that a number of bugs and performance issues might still be experienced.

According to the official release notes, Filezilla 3.8.0 beta 1 comes with a redesigned update dialog, while also updating GnuTLS to latest version to address vulnerabilities in GnuTLS' certificate validation.

FileZilla’s feature lineup remains unchanged, so the application continues to provide options to resume uploads and downloads straight from the main window, a site manage, SSL secured connections, SFTP support and a keep alive system.

While the new beta build is clearly a version that deserves a shot, beginners are recommended to download the stable version that’s expected to provide a bug-free experience without issues and performance problems that could affect file uploading and downloading.

Overall, there is no doubt that this new build deserves a try, so download FileZilla 3.8.0 Beta 1 for Windows right now to see what it brings new.
