Does it need some update SQL script?

Hi @brianteeman, tested your PR and it does what you are wanting it to but a couple of the language strings are not coming over as expected - please see screenshot here:

Thanks,

Emmanuel.

P.S.: I installed the Pre-built package in case that helps:
Joomla_6.0.0-alpha1-dev+pr.45211-Development-Update_Package.zip

@exlemor Should be ok now

Hi Brian, thanks, I assume that I need to wait for someone to rebuild the Pre-Built package as it is still one from 3+ hrs ago?

@exlemor The links to the download page and to the downloads contain the build number and so change after a new commit. Maybe you still were on the old download page?

Anyway, I've updated the branch, new downloads should be available soon.

New downloads are ready: https://artifacts.joomla.org/drone/joomla/joomla-cms/6.0-dev/45211/downloads/83784/
