toolkit upgrade --beta 5
Or for the brave:
toolkit install 2.6.0-beta.5 --force --include-prerelease
Users currently on Toolkit 2.5.x can install Beta 5 side-by-side with their current stable version. The installer will prompt you to migrate your user settings. We recommend backing up your config.ini file before proceeding.
The 2.6 cycle was defined by the industry-wide shift to Fluent Design (Acrylic material, Reveal highlight). Beta 5 updated the resource dictionaries for the Toolkit’s existing controls (like the HamburgerMenu and MasterDetailsView) to respect these new system-level styles automatically.
Release Date: October 26, 2023
Status: Pre-Release (Beta)
Tag: v2.6.0-beta.5 toolkit 2.6 beta 5
We are thrilled to announce the immediate availability of Toolkit 2.6 Beta 5. This release marks a significant milestone in the 2.6 development cycle. While earlier betas focused heavily on structural refactoring and the new plug-in architecture, Beta 5 is all about refinement, stability, and putting the polish on the user experience.
If you have been waiting for a stable build to test the new features, this is the closest approximation to a Release Candidate we have produced yet.

Real example:
You edit src/components/Button.tsx five times in a minute → it assumes hot reload domain.
You open logs/debug.txt once → it ignores it forever.
Smart, silent, spooky.
Beta 5 introduces Predictive Error Resilience – a lightweight ML model (runs locally) that catches likely human errors before they crash. Or for the brave: toolkit install 2

It's like a co-pilot that actually understands your half-baked thoughts.
Because this is pre-release software, you should never install it directly over your stable version. Follow this safe installation guide:
