0.19.x is still in beta, so there's no release notes yet.

@liunkae This happened for a user on 18.20 as well. See this tweet. If we have a link there, it should lead someplace other than a 404.

0.18.20 is still in beta too. 😉 0.18.14 is the current release.

It works for me on 0.18.20.

Maybe the link was not correctly applied when the user opened about:brave. I remember I experienced the similar issue, and for me the link was not defined, ie https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/releases/tag/undefined IIRC. I'm not sure how to reproduce the issue.

Versions etc are in my tweet thread, but I didn't open about. It was from your most recent dev version and it was the message that popped up after I updated (not from about). It's been happening for a few versions now for me. Try signing out of GitHub to reproduce.

Closing this as a dupe of #10515. I believe the problem is that Beta builds have never worked properly on Windows. Because they were marked as dev instead of beta, they would be linking to a non-existent version of the issue
