# What’s New in Local Beta 5.7.2

## Improvements

- We’ve added the option for users to set a default web browser from Local › Preferences.
- The auto-updater will now show a changelog for new releases rather than a small blurb. Be on the lookout for this when the next update after 5.7.2 is released!

## Bug fixes

- Fixed issue where every time Local would check if a database is online, it would be logged to Local’s log file. This should help reduce red herrings when reviewing Local logs.
- Fixed UI bug with Link Checker in Dark Mode
