Understand, we'd already delayed the trial several times, and now we have to
use 8.2.0 as it turns out videochat (which is necessary for this trial)
depends on libraries only in 8.2.0. So I'm a bit stuck atm.

I understand and wouldn't ask for support. It is better to have a slightly
more flaky but feature full setup for this trial than the older version
without the changes for videochat and the important changes to the browse
app which have resulted in pop-ups (for authentication) now working which is
also vital for my trial.

Am I able to make a pre-release signed image myself?

Cheers,
Pia
