This release introduces three important changes to Linux updates: • Delayed updates are the new default: Linux releases arrive after community testing • Edge Linux: keeps the old behavior, installing Linux updates as soon as Sorg releases them • You may disable Linux updates from System Options

Users in Brazil are facing connectivity issues with MiSTer updaters and GitHub raw content servers in general. Many requests return HTTP 429 errors. For now, the only workaround is to use a VPN. Otherwise you'll have to wait for GitHub to fix the issue.
