Release Notes

Well, here we are 10 months later, and Audacious 4.0 (with a fully feature-complete Qt UI) still isn't a reality. Never fear, we haven't been totally idle. With the usual smattering of new features and a longer-than-usual list of bug fixes, we are proud to present a beta of Audacious 3.10, code-named "Not Quite There Yet".

Download the beta here.

New .pot files have been uploaded to Transifex. If you can help with translating a few new strings before the final release, we greatly appreciate it.

You may also notice that we finally have HTTPS enabled site-wide. Many thanks to Michał Lipski for getting this working!
