Acronis True Image 2014 Update 3 has been released?
I have just seen that there is an update 3 when I look at my Acronis account. There is no notification of this from the software.
I also note that this seems to be a US only release - do the rest of the world not benefit from the fixes? The rest of the world seems to be stuck on Build 6673
Not interest in 2015 given the amount of stuff that has been removed but would like to ensure I have a version that has as many bugs fixed as possible.

If you look at the release notes for the previous version 6673, you will notice that they are the same as for build 6688. The only difference between build 6673 and build 6688 is that Universal Restore has been separated out of the product and is now a separate .iso download (to be run separately as well). The reason for this I do not know and has, as far as I know, never been published. Maybe other language versions will not follow as this is such a "weird" release (just my hunch).
