Hey everyone,
we are super exited to finally be able to release a new minor release today 
https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/5.5.0
After all the security fixes, it feels like a breeze of fresh air to be honest. We managed to pack in quite a few nice enhancements: little features, performance updates, new translations, refactorings and lots of bug fixes.
But I want to focus on the part that’s maybe most interesting for you in your dev work: We have added development licenses! 
You can now register local installations and staging servers for free to get rid of our annoying Panel banner. For local environments, the registration is super simple. Just click on “Activate” in the banner, switch to the new “Development” license tab, confirm the checkbox and hit activate.
For staging servers, you need to make sure that the installation is actually behind password protection or publicly not accessible. Our license hub will check this on registration and the Panel will then reevaluate this regularly.
We are excited to hear how you like this new license option.
P.S. This is a good chance to send you a quick reminder that our sale is still running until Monday! Don’t miss it
