# What’s New in Local Beta 5.7.5

## Additions

- WordPress 5.5 introduced a new `wp_get_environment_type()` function that retrieves a site’s current environment type. Using this function while developing in Local will now return a value of `local`. See more info [here](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/24/new-wp_get_environment_type-function-in-wordpress-5-5/).

## Improvements

- We’ve greatly improved the speed of Instant Reload!
- Local Hub now notifies users in the case their browser is not supported.

## Bug fixes

- Resolved an edge-case where WP Engine users could push to a site with no environments.
- Users can now navigate away from the overview screen as a newly created site is in process to view to other sites.
- Resolved an issue for WP Engine users where Local would assume the remote site had a database causing an error.
- Fixed styling issue on Live Links Pro popup
- Fixed an authentication issue for Pro users that would require navigating away from Pro features and back to accurately reflect logged in/out state.
