Here's one missed from a week ago, Valve are testing another update to the stable version of Proton with Proton 7.0-6 needing some more eyes on it for testing. I don't imagine it to be released soon, given it's about to be holiday time.
To test it out, you need to opt into a Beta on Proton 7.0-5. You can do that by searching for Proton in Steam, and selecting it from the Betas section in the Properties. You can give feedback on the GitHub post, they're after issues only present in this build compared with the current version.
As usual, here's a quick run over what to expect from it:

I thought they were doing Proton Next now, are they dropping that, or are they considering the Beta to be too experimental for the option?I assume it will go into Proton Next before they're ready to release stable, it's what they did last time.

I searched for proton on steam and changed proton 7.0 to beta and selected Proton 7.0-6 RC Testing. How do I enable it for a game? When I go and force a version it show Proton experimental, 7.0-5 and older revisions.

In the description you can read, that the name of the build in the Steam Settings dialog will not be updated.
…that means, as far as I understand…
Install "Proton 7.0" > then go to 'Properties' > 'Betas' > and activate 'release-candidate - Proton 7.0-6 RC testing'.
But in Steam Settings > Steam Play > stay at 7.0-5.
