Tasker 5.7 Release Questions

Some of us require Tasker and Tasker App Factory.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/bioopz/
spells out the planned increment natal release of Tasker 5.7 followed by the release of Tasker App Factory 5.7 means that all users like me have to wait and no estimate is stated.

I am a Beta tester. There should be a 5.7.0 Beta 17 release of Tasker and Tasker App Factory. If there were no problems then 5.7 could be released any way you choose.

If you are looking for a recommendation … there should be two FLAVORS of Tasker … Tasker and Tasker Enhanced (Tasker plus Tasker App Factory). Update them at the same time and release them at the same time.
