Dear all,  
I am currently using the build **b2019030402**.  
When I open the designer, I suddenly receive the following error:

May I do something?  
Thank you.

You may need to upgrade to the newest nightly, however I am not 100% sure on this.

This doesn't indicate any significant problem - in 8.0, the project templates are now hosted on [inductiveautomation.com](http://inductiveautomation.com), rather than kept within the designer. This lets us remotely update them, and also add new templates. If you're using the designer from a machine without internet access, or with `api.inductiveautomation.com` blocked, you will see this message.
