The changelog is still being written and will be posted here tomorrow (12 August).
Best,
Gerhard Behles, CEO
Bernd Roggendorf, CTO
At the end of last year, Behles and Roggendorf announced that the company was shifting resources from development to improving quality:
We have now decided to:
suspend all development towards new features while the whole team joins forces to address the current issues. This effort is open ended and will result in a free Live 8 update;
make process changes to prevent similar situations from happening in the future.
We hope this plan finds your understanding and agreement. We’d like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful 2010!

Unstable. The audio will stop at random times and the play button/channel buttons become unresponsive. Usually have to force quit to resume.
