Notifications for Macrium Reflect software updates are handled slightly differently in v8.0. Previously, a Windows notification would be shown every hour if Macrium Reflect wasn't at the latest version. We've changed this to show a persistent, but dismissible, Windows toast notifications when an update is available. Once dismissed, the notification won't be shown again for that day. There's also a new option to skip all future notification for the current latest release.
