Guys, there is a public beta on PS and Hockeyapp for anyone that wants to test the new things before getting released and help to fix the potential issues

Hockeyapp is faster for updates and sending reports or crashes because it doesn't depend on google to release the update. (Consider using this before the PS version)

Link to the beta on Hockeyapp here
For the PS version just search Plus Messenger and join the beta program ;)
